bug#20834: 25.0.50; install-autoremove cycle with the tablist package

[Artur Malabarba]

Done. The package menu is now reverted any (but not every) time
package-install or package-delete are called (which includes
package-autoremove and a bunch of other stuff). This is something I
was thinking of doing anyway, and I think it fixes this bug (though
only time will tell).
