Bug Description

Deep in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/979661, we uncovered a problem with the terminal widget not being expanded when a debconf prompt is presented. Michael hacked around this by expanding it after five minutes of inactivity. However, really, update-manager ought to be able to detect attempts by child processes to read from its embedded terminal widget, assume that that indicates a need to receive input, and expand the widget immediately.
