The rest of the Debian Kernel team, which is maintainer of this package, talked about this and came ot the following conclusion: this bug nees to be fixed.[1] Enabling colors by default is a deviation from upstream. Debian also does not enable colors by default in other low level tools like ls or grep. In some cases, colors are enabled in default bash configs. So please either - restore the upstream default of color disabled by default, or - use a better usable color scheme (yes, I know this is hard with how colors work on usual termionals).
