Dear Maintainer,


I was doing a installation of some packages to my debian system.
synaptic's progress stopped. I thought it was hung. On a whim,
I pressed the "details" button. The details window showed that
the package installation process was trying to ask an installation
question. I answered that question and installation proceeded to
completion.

Joe Sixpack does not know that "details" can hide a question
that synaptic installation process is waiting to an answer for.
He thinks synaptic is hung.

Details should pop up and stay up everytime there is a question
to be answered.
