The .linux files are supposed to be used in linux-based distros, as opposed to other distros where bash-completion works (e.g. freebsd, I suppose). They have been added by upstream commit db8d3eeeebb7 <https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/commit/db8d3eeeebb7>. Anyhow, since mount ships the completion, bash-completion should get rid of their version and this is usually done upstream. Luckily, bash-completion 2.9 already deprecated these files [1], and since I'm already working on the upgrade for Debian, this problem will be solved automatically.

(See: #820247) Only mount/umount have actually been removed. The .linux versions were not. > Why were there readded? For completeness, the NMU has been integrated into the regular packaging by downstream commit 7306a664e53c <https://salsa.debian.org/debian/bash-completion/commit/7306a664e53c>.
