No activity on this bug for the last month, although bug is milestoned
for alpha 5...

Maybe we should clarify what the reason was for the change that introduced the 
usability regression.
Could someone who knows, why this was changed, explain the reason for that?

When doing an update with synaptic package manager, the install window
(with the tty output) still has the behaviour as the one from update-
manager used to have.

One could argue, that if one wants to read the tty output, he can do the 
upgrades via synaptic package manager. Newbies who do not want to see tty go 
with update-manager. But this is not a valid argument IMHO, because 
update-manager provides a list of changes for the packages, which synaptic does 
not AFAIK. And, if it is assumed that no one will read the tty-output, why 
having the option to show it at all?
And why should the two install windows from synaptic and update-manager, that 
do exactly the same thing, have different behaviour?

So please, if there was no real important reason for the change, can it
just be reverted?
