Strange. I had bash-completion purged from my system.
Now I installed it.
Then I did
dlocate /usr/s<TAB><TAB>
and again nothing nothing nothing.
Can you guarantee that you are not using something else then what there
is in the sid repository???
Please tell me what info I can provide to debug that, but I have to
purge bash-completion until you ask me, because currently it is as
useful as a keyboard filled with coke.

Well, still that is something that might be interesting, maybe implemented
in a different way.
The point here is that if nothing is found, maybe the completion
algorithm is incomplete ... or forgot some options ... you never know
in what ways people abuse the system. And then it should fall back
to what normal bash would do by default, namely complete the path.
