Could be fixed by displaying one choice per line. > Are there many people that use the text frontend?

It's used by enough things (encluding being the only frontend for s390) that it will be kept maintained. > Really, do you have anything _against_ the "brltty peeks bterm's output" > solution? Yes, it: - Makes it harder for d-i to move away from using bterm in the future. - Excludes anyone using a machine without a frambuffer supported by d-i (including some laptops, and many non-i386 archirectures). - Doesn't solve any issues relating to using brltty on the console of the installed system, which will definitly *not* be running bterm. - Has failure modes releated to the video hardware in the system, which are impossible for a blind user to diagnose. -- see shy jo
