[Bug 396829] [NEW] Decrease amount of suggestions

[Nick Ellery]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: command-not-found

command-not-found should limit the amount of suggests it offers.

For example if you accidentally type 'l' instead of 'ls', the following happens:
$ l
No command 'l' found, did you mean:
 Command 'el' from package 'oneliner-el' (universe)
 Command 'cl' from package 'cl-launch' (universe)
 Command 'vl' from package 'atfs' (universe)
 Command 'al' from package 'mono-devel' (main)
 Command 'ld' from package 'binutils' (main)
 Command 'ld' from package 'hardening-wrapper' (main)
 Command 'ld' from package 'binutils-gold' (universe)
 Command 'le' from package 'le' (universe)
 Command 'nl' from package 'coreutils' (main)
 Command 'ln' from package 'coreutils' (main)
 Command 'lh' from package 'live-helper' (universe)
 Command 'li' from package 'limo' (universe)
 Command 'lv' from package 'lv' (universe)
 Command 'ls' from package 'coreutils' (main)
 Command 'lp' from package 'cups-client' (main)
 Command 'lp' from package 'lprng' (universe)
 Command 'rl' from package 'randomize-lines' (universe)
 Command 'lz' from package 'mtools' (main)
 Command 'pl' from package 'tendra' (universe)
 Command 'bl' from package 'gpe-conf' (universe)
 Command 'sl' from package 'sl' (universe)
 Command 'i' from package 'iprint' (universe)
 Command 'r' from package 'littler' (universe)
 Command 'w' from package 'w-bassman' (universe)
 Command 'w' from package 'procps' (main)
 Command 'ul' from package 'bsdmainutils' (main)

This is seems useless, and the maximum amount of suggests ought to be
decreased.  It also doesn't seem likely that a user would attempt to use
command-not-found to help them find a package by using a single letter.
