This is a problem in the bash package, thus reassigning.
bash-completion was split from the bash package on Fri, 08 Feb 2008, by the
maintainer of bash:
---8<---
bash-completion (20060301-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low
* Initial release, split out from the bash package.
The software currently is unsupported upstream.
* [..]

That file is arriving from an ancient version of bash (it seems 3.1dfsg-8).
bash-completion has proper Replaces/Depends set in place, so this shouldn't
have happened.
