Well, the main reason is that bash and bash-completion are separate projects. I think only Debian (and hence Ubuntu) included the bash_completion script directly in the bash package. And another thing is that bash_completion is essentially unmaintained upstream. So splitting the packages makes perfect sense.
Whether bash-completion should be in main is perhaps dabatable, but basic completion also works without it and it is by no means an essential tool (although convenient). So I think putting it into universe is also OK. -- New option in bash could use updated completion https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/60666 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
