Title:
  [FFe] Pass -SMK to less

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  APT in plucky uses a pager, so far we pass LESS=FRX, but this is not
  very intuitive, so I'd like to pass SMK as well:

  * S disables the bell
  * M changes the prompt from ":" to "lines 1-2"
  * K makes the pager exit on ctrl+c which makes it more discoverable how to exit

  These flags are aligned with systemd; the former set was derived from
  git

  This will be bundled with some more bugfixes in apt 2.9.35.
