Bug#249021:



Please reconsider marking this as "wontfix".

Apt is the only package manager I use that calls it "remove" instead
of "uninstall". Off the top of my head: pip (Python), brew (macOS),
cargo (Rust), gem (Ruby) and npm (JavaScript) all call it "uninstall".
The only exceptions I can think of are ArchLinux, which uses single
letter flags that I forget and yarn (JavaScript), which uses "remove"
but also uses "add" instead of install, so that makes more sense.

It's also slightly faster when you just installed something to add
"un" to the previous command instead of deleting the whole word and
typing out "remove".

I have been using Ubuntu/Debian for close to 10 years and I just made
this mistake for the umpteenth time this morning, which prompted me to
come looking for this bug.
