Hey. Just for the records: I've filed an RFP[0] for the lesspipe alternative from: https://github.com/wofr06/lesspipe respectively https://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~friebel/unix/lesspipe.html which, AFAICS, is also the one used in gentoo.
Should it get packaged, than maybe both could simply happily coexist (and this bug would still become obsolete). :D Cheers, Chris. [0] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1043249
