what about completion interruption. A way to interrupt the completion process would be nice.
The only way that I know to stop a slow completion (dpkg, ssh, gdb, ...) is to hit Ctrl-C, what looses the line. Having a kind-of "Ctrl-g" to interrupt the completion process and keep the line as-is could be an option isn't ? Or alternatively bash-completion could trap the Ctrl-C signal from bash (untested).
