Package: apt
Version: 0.7.18
Severity: minor
apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc uses cfmakeraw(3) to put the terminal into raw
mode whilst running dpkg subprocesses.
This has the undesirable effect of mangling the output if you are piping
it through tee:
apt-get -y install iotop | tee /tmp/apt.log

I tested by disabling the cfmakeraw call with an LD_PRELOAD shim, and
the output then looked right both with and without a pipe. Unfortunately
I don't know enough about terminal programming to assess what the
intended purpose of putting the terminal into raw mode could have been.
