Package: bash Version: 3.1dfsg-9 Severity: minor Tilde expansion on the command line is very annoying when you don't want it. The tilde expansion is done anyway if the file /etc/bash_completion is loaded (root account does not load it). For testing, I just modified that file to work for me. Beware that modification may break others stuff in the completions.
