Package: base-files Version: 11.1+deb11u3 Followup-For: Bug #275623 X-Debbugs-Cc: Gabriel F. T. Gomes <gabr...@debian.org>
Dear Maintainer, the current behavior is very inconsistent in regards to `bash_completion`: - if you login as user `root` on the console or via `ssh` and get an *interactive login shell*, which first executes `/etc/profile` and thus sources `/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh`. - For a regular user `/etc/skel/.bashrc` is used instead, which *explicitly* sources bash completion. - if you use `sudo -s` to become `root` or use `screen` as `root`, you get an interactive *non*-login shell instead, which skip `/etc/profile` and use `/root/.bashrc` only. It does *not* source bash completion. So everyone except `root` gets bash completion by default. `root` also gets completion but *not* when using `screen` or `sudo`. So if `root` should have a "minimal" environment, `/etc/profile` would need an exception to skip things if run by `root`. Instead I prefer `root` to have bash completion by default.
