[Python-apps-team] Bug#836009: aws: help commands ignore terminal size and hardcode 78 columns

Package: awscli
Version: 1.10.1-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/aws

The aws help commands ignore terminal size. When my terminal is larger
than 78 columns wide, the aws help commands show a manual that is
wrapped at 78 columns, wasting space on the screen for early wrapping.
When my terminal is less than 78 columns the result is a jumbled mess
of wrapping that is quite unreadable.
