synaptic: not integrated with apt-listbug

[Leo Cacciari]

Package: synaptic
Version: 0.57.4ubuntu10
Severity: minor


Before switching to Ubuntu, I was used to aptitude, and used apt-listbug in it.
I installed apt-listbug on my system but when apt-listbug asks for user action 
(i.e. when the bug list is not empty) synaptic is unaware of it, and so is the
user unless he/she has the terminal window open.

Wouldn't be possible that synaptic asked for interaction in much the same
way it does for debconf dialogs? 

I do not realy know if the problem is in synaptic or if it is a matter of 
apt-listbug not using debconf-style dialogs. In the latter case obviously this
bug should have been tagged against apt-listbug. Let me know if you need me
to effectively post such a bug report.
