Ok, I got it. :) So I set the pager to none, like that I can still receive updates by mail.

Not in particular. apt-listchanges will hooks into apt (dpkg?) and displays any new stuff found in a NEWS.Debian[.gz] file of the packages you are upgrading. If you don't want to see them you can remove apt-listchanges or change it's configuration.

Not quite sure what you mean here, packages don't usually present any disclaimer[1]. Since you mention pressing 'q' it seems more like apt-listchanges presenting you the NEWS.Debian file. You could just remove it. [1] as far as I know disclaimers are those "use at your own risk" messages.

installation disclaimer
Hi, During the installation of some packages (iceweasel, open-ssl..), a disclaimer sometimes appears which one has to pass by using the key of the keyboard. The use of "apt-get install -y " does not seem to be useful to pass automatically this. Does anyone know how to pass by this and prevent installer to stop ?
