Bug Description

Binary package hint: byobu

From screen manpage:
           This example demonstrates how to dump the whole scrollback buffer to that file: "C-A [ g SPACE G $ >".

Perhaps add a keybinding for Ctrl-A >
to do this very easily.

  [ Dustin Kirkland ]
  * usr/bin/byobu-reconnect-sockets: look for gpg sessions quietly
  * usr/bin/byobu-launcher: ensure that if user does not want a nested
    session, they still get a local shell

  [ Jon Bernard ]
  * etc/byobu/statusrc, usr/bin/byobu-config, usr/lib/byobu/rcs_cost,
    usr/share/byobu/profiles/common, usr/share/man/man1/byobu.1:
    - Rackspace cost estimation (based on the ec2 one)

    custom colors, LP: #568967
  * usr/bin/byobu: LANG=C before grepping for text

    to previously reverted implementations where we exec'd byobu, since
    we'll only exit 0 if the byobu/screen session exits cleanly; this will
    keep the user from having to do the double-exit when detaching,
