Bug description:
  | root at dziban:/etc# ls -l /var/log/apt/term.log*
  | -rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 87718 Apr  6 10:33 /var/log/apt/term.log

  This file includes anything you type into a shell spawned via dpkg's
  conffile handling.  I don't expect my root shell sessions to be logged
  (keystrokes and all) to a world readable file and I imagine I'm not
  the only one.
