I would vote against enabling bash completion this way for all accounts (not only for root). If you really need to work as root, I prefer to have an account that just works and does not need to have all bells and whistles switched on. The "Ubuntu way" of using root is via sudo, where bash-completion works as expected. If you want to enable it for root, just add it to roots .bashrc.
