This is not a bug in any current Debian package, but an FYI about an
upstream regression.
As of version 520 the following test-case will wait a full 5 seconds
before printing "hello":
(echo "hello"; sleep 5; echo "bye bye") | less -F
Before that it would print "hello" immediately, and then "bye bye" 5
seconds later.

Linus posted a patch that works for me to solve this, but the upstream
maintainer hasn't commented:
