If the output does not fit into the window the pager will page it, and
you will navigate inside the pager. If you do anything other than scroll
down and then quit (using q or whatever mechanism), the scrollbar of the
terminal window will have limited use, as it will show a crude view of
the actions you took and stuff you displayed inside the pager, which
involves skipping ... lines as well as duplicated lines if you scroll
back.

Please note there is no difference on the apt side, the output is the
same in both cases, it is the pager that is then paging it, apt is
always piping to the pager.

And yes sure it points to the alternative, it's more a question of what
that points too, it seems to be less, judging from the skipping lines.

In any case I fail to see anything wrong here.
