[Bug 1218180] [NEW] apt-get remove/purge autocomplete bug

[CaptSaltyJack]

Public bug reported:

When the env var GREP_OPTIONS is set to "--color=always," apt-get purge
and remove insert erroneous characters when using autocomplete (tab).
e.g. when typing "sudo apt-get purge compizconf" then typing tab, this
expansion occurs:

sudo apt-get purge compizconf^[[m^[[K^[[m^[[Kig-settings-manager
