A fresh install of saucy (13.10) shows that autocompletion is limited to
path. Full autocompletion is not activated by default because the
following section is commented in /etc/bash.bashrc, line 31:

# enable bash completion in interactive shells
#if ! shopt -oq posix; then
#  if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then
#    . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
#  elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
#    . /etc/bash_completion
#  fi
#fi

Except if modified manually, the user's ~/.bashrc file is a copy of the
system /etc/bash.bashrc. So this does not change the default settings.

/etc/bash.bashrc is from the "bash" package, not from "bash-completion".
Sorry for first reporting it to the latter.

** Package changed: bash-completion (Ubuntu) => bash (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New
