Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-9
Severity: wishlist
The default /etc/bash_completion in Debian/sid takes 216kb, and
a couple of scripts in /etc/bash_completion.d add another 100kb.
To load this, my system needs half a second, a perceivable and
quite annoying delay on every shell start.
I wrote a simple script, that automatically moves the completion
functions from /etc/bash_completion and /etc/bash_completion.d
to a separate directory and creates a drop-in replacement for
/etc/bash_completion - which will load any of those completion
functions when it is requested for the first time. By this, we
greatly reduce the loading time (the replacement script is ~30kb)
and also the memory footprint (as we rarely need every completion
function in every bash session).
The generator script is intended to be run once the base script
/etc/bash_completion is installed and then, every time something
is added to /etc/bash_completion.d. I'd like to propose it for
the bash package -- maybe as an optional part of installation.
The generator script is attached, any comments are welcome.

Version: 1:1.99-1
1.99 is a pre-release of what will be 2.0. This version already features
dynamic completion loading, I'm thus closing this bug.
Kindly,
