Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bash-completion

wxmaxima (which is a great graphical frontend for the even greater
mathematical package maxima) accepts only wxmaxima- and maxima-Files as
command line parameters and doesn't support any command line options
save from that.

The advantage of writing an autocompletion rule that offers files as
command line parameters for wxmaxima that this program can actually open
would be that this rule excludes files generated by the html- and LaTeX-
export functionality - that typically differ from the project's name
only by their extension and by the fact that they - although they
contain the complete text of the project - no longer can be opened by
wxmaxima itself.

Will add a suitable rule for wxmaxima to this bug report. The only thing
that might be left to do - partially since I didn't know how to do this
and partially since I was not sure if excluding directories from
autocompletion might prove to be a good idea in the first place - is to
exclude directories ending in _img: They are generated during html
export and only contain bitmap images of the formulae.
