The umount completion is actually provided by util-linux (since 2.28-1
where it took over from bash-completion itself). I'm thus reassigning
it to src:util-linux. Then if the issue is present as well in
bash-completion earlier than 1:2.1-4.3, then 1:2.1-4.3 removed the
completion and would not be affected in the resulting binary packages
(source still might be).

Salvatore
