Nicely phrased, but this is _not_ a less issue.  I suspect that it is
an ncurses issue, as this behaviour appeared in woody for all
curses-based programs, not just man/less.  The other program I have
this problem with on a daily basis is mutt.

The other related question, of course:  Why did this change from
potato to woody?  Did the upstream change their default or was it a
decision made by the debian maintainer?  And what was the reasoning
behind it?
