Why? :)

^^^^^^^^^^^
Strange version number :)

I won't put a Replaces: bash, that's pretty weird.
Instead, I'm thinking about downgrading it, and not fixing it at all (and
probably closing it)
$ rmadison bash
bash | 3.1dfsg-8 | etch-m68k | source, m68k
bash | 3.1dfsg-8 | oldstable | source, alpha, amd64, arm, [..]
bash | 3.2-4 | stable | source, alpha, amd64, arm, [..]
bash | 4.0-7 | testing | source, amd64, armel, hppa, [..]
bash | 4.1-1 | unstable | source, alpha, amd64, armel, [..]
$
The only version of bash having bash_completion is in oldstable.
I haven't received any similar bug report for all this time, maybe this
happened to Kurt for some strange event?
Totally run out of ideas,
David
