Debian and all sane distros should revert this commit at once. Changing the aesthetic of ls output is ugly, confusing, and completely absurd. The developer who made the commit should think twice next time before introducing such an unwanted setting and making it the default. This is a change appreciate by nobody, or at least a much smaller group than those who absolutely detest it.
