I think this is a problem. This is the difference between the versions.
in 1.6.2.9 on menuselect_curses.c in line 43
#define MIN_Y 24
In 1.6.2.13 is:
#define MIN_Y 27
Maybe is something in debian, but why change this line?
Thanks

Thanks This is not a bug. That line was changed because the menuselect interface requires at least 27 lines of space. When it is set to 24 it gets "messed up".
Change that line back to 24 on your local system if you can't figure out how to use screenbuffers and change the screen resolution.

Your screen is not 80x27 characters large then. Most terminals are 80x24 by default, which is not big enough for menuselect.
Try installing the ncurses development library, re-run ./configure in the menuselect directory, and use the alternate menuselect interface which is better at scaling to different screen sizes.
This is not a bug.
