Package: dselect
Version: 1.22.21
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Since Trixie, dselect uses a gray background color that greatly hampers
readability. Please revert to the black color what had been used ever since
dselect entered the Debian archive. Thanks!

Never mind.
It seems that someone thought that changing the default VT colors in
gnome-terminal to various grayish shades of the standard VGA colors
would somehow be a good idea.
Closing.
