Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bash-completion

I have been noticing that bash has unusually slow start-up times. After
looking into the problem, I found out this is mostly caused by the
execution of /etc/bash_completion (calls to this exist in several
places). Of course, removing them speeds up the start but leaves a less
functional shell. As a work-around I would like to suggest starting up
/etc/bash_completion in the background. In this way, bash will start
quickly, have access only to basic built-in completions for the first 2
seconds until /etc/bash_completion finishes executing.
