I would like to reopen this bug with a suggestion for a possible
solution. My idea is to run /etc/bash_completion in the background
without delaying the display of a basic terminal. Bash has the
functionality to perform basic completion (e.g. getting the name of an
executable in a directory from $PATH) and this should be sufficient for
the first 2 seconds of a user's session. I tried to move
/etc/bash_completion to /etc/bash_completion_real and then created a
dummy file /etc/bash_completion containing ". /etc/bash_completion_real
&" but this does not seem to work.  Somehow the completion executes in
the background but does not affect the opened bash session. Could anyone
suggest a fix?
