Bug#273999: Command line is trashed with colorized prompt

[Sebastien Bacher]

reassign 273999 bash
severity 273999 normal

Apparently a bug with bash, happens with different terms (xterm, Eterm,
aterm ...) and in a console.=20
Not sure but perhaps related to #269547 ?

BTW adding \[ and \] around the string seems to fix the issue.
