Hi Ted,
Here is a bash script that prints the completions for apt-get. Maybe
you could generate such a script in Vim and call it to get the
completions. You can find the mappings from commands (apt-get) to bash
completion functions (_apt_get) in /etc/bash_completions.d/*. The
script was tested with bash 4.1.5.

#!/bin/bash
. /etc/bash_completion
COMP_LINE="apt-get "
echo "Completing: $COMP_LINE"
COMP_POINT=8
COMP_WORDS=( apt-get )
COMP_CWORD=1
_apt_get
echo "${COMPREPLY[@]}"
COMP_LINE="apt-get in"
echo "Completing: $COMP_LINE"
COMP_POINT=10
COMP_WORDS=( apt-get in )
COMP_CWORD=1
_apt_get
echo "${COMPREPLY[@]}"
