Hi Martin,
Thanks for your quick reply, on your work on the Debian postgresql
package.

As you already discovered yourself, this was disabled in
bash-completion, so I reassing this wishlist bug to bash-completion.
Maintainers, please close/wontfix as you see fit (I don't know the
reason why it was disabled).
Speaking as the psql maintainer, figuring out all local databases
correctly (and mapping them to their cluster) is really nontrivial,
so perhaps it was done because the completion was too bad?
Well, no disrespect intended, but the reason for disabling this feature is
because it doesn't work perfectly? Now hitting tab gives all the files in
the directory. How is that better?
To the bash completion maintainers:
please consider renabling this functionality. There was no reason given
for the original disabling. It looks like this change was made in Ubuntu
first, and copied to Debian. If there is a Ubuntu bug or a discussion in
the ML is would have been helpful to link to it. For one thing, is would
make requests like this less likely.
Otherwise, is there some way to reenable this functionality locally?
Regards, Faheem Mitha.
