Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

I have upgraded to Maverick today, and feel it that the screen is more big (a trick with the font size), as usually I had to activate the ppa and extras repositories, then install the versions that should work on Maverick. When I want to see details about dpkg installation progress the windows fills up to 60% of my screen. Can this be changed to a better font size for the terminal.

Yet I know that is a wish, so please mark as it.

Actually, this should be considerate a minor usability improvement, but a annoying one. So, brainstorm are not the better place to review it. Maybe a Hundred Papercut?
