After examining _aptitude, I think the cause of the problem is most
likely that, _deb_packages isn't handing "_deb_packages uninstalled"
correctly. I suppose that it does update the corresponding cache by
calling "_deb_packages_update_uninstalled", but returned the wrong
"_deb_packages_cache_installed" as completion list, instead of
"..._uninstalled". I'm not familiar with zsh's completion programming
interface, but if nobody's got the time I'm willing to study it and
come up with a fix(in a few days).
