Sorry for the mistake, I've just realized you are the new mantainer and
the package come from Ubuntu.

These are my opinions after a few searchs:

* this bug come from the Ubuntu package, and was fixed on 2008-02-20 by
Matthias Klose in version 20060301-1ubuntu1, as you can see at LP
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/190619)
and and Ubuntu ChangeLog
(http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/b/bash-completion/bash-completion_20060301-1ubuntu1/changelog)

* the right patch is already linked in the Debian QA page of the package
(http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/bash-completion.html), exactly here:
http://patches.ubuntu.com/b/bash-completion/bash-completion_20060301-1ubuntu1.patch

I repeat I'm new to Debian, so the question is not for criticism but only
for the sake of knowledge: can anyone explain me where the Ubuntu
bug-fixing cycle meets the Debian upstream and then why this patch was not
applied?

Cristian
