FWIW, I'd like to "me too" the above sentiments that, even when working
correctly, this behavior is incredibly unintuitive to me.  I fail to see
who it's meant to help, really.

The only people (a tiny subset of users) who would frequently install
libraries by hand (rather than as dependencies of binaries or part of a
build-dep action) would, I suspect, intersect rather significantly with
the subset of users who think it's rather annoying to have to hit ^w and
"start over" because hitting tab just changed the beginning of their
word.
