Package: bash
Version: 3.0-14
Severity: normal

Could the DEBUG variable at the top of /etc/bash_completion please be
renamed to something a little less generic, given that any program is
likely to want to use DEBUG?

On second thoughts, why is the test there in the first place?  I quite
often want to debug my login scripts, so I do a manual `set -xv', and
then bash_completion comes along, and clobbers my settings.  Surely,
if one wanted to debug bash_completion itself, one could manually `set
+/-xv' at the appropriate times, since otherwise one would have to set
DEBUG=yes anyway -- it's no extra effort, and would seem to make
sense...
