That looks similar to some things I saw when SSH'ing from a Mac OSX
machine to a Debian system and running Aptitude.
Switching the Mac's Terminal application over to using "xterm-color"
for the terminal type, straightened it right up.
Even if you're not on a Mac, it's a problem with the terminal
emulation of the machine you're on, and what the terminal emulation is
set up as on the Debian machine in $TERM in the shell.
You can probably find a combination that works properly though, if you
hunt a bit. Don't forget to "reset" in the shell each time you change
your terminal emulation on your machine you're testing from, if you're
not disconnecting and reconnecting.
