Bug#417900: update-manager: Better integration with apt-listbugs

Package: update-manager
Version: 0.42.2ubuntu22-11
Severity: minor

For users that have apt-listbugs installed, the package installation
``hangs'' at the ``preparing packages'' stage.  This is because
apt-listbugs is waiting for input.  If the user expands the ``details''
control, to get access to the mini-terminal, they can authorise
apt-listbugs to continue the installation and it proceeds as expected.

Though it affects few people I'm sure, it would be good if this stage
could be recognised and maybe the question asked in the GUI as opposed
to the terminal.

Thanks for your time!
