Comment 18 for bug 769866

I have both an Ubuntu Natty and a Debian Squeese boxes here. Under Debian that config it a bit different. It used default for some commands, and filenames for others.

Debian:
for i in a2ps autoconf automake bc gprof ld nm objcopy objdump readelf strip \
    bison colordiff diff patch enscript cp df dir du ln ls mkfifo mknod mv rm \
    touch vdir awk gperf grep grub indent less m4 sed shar date \
    tee who texindex cat csplit cut expand fmt fold head \
    md5sum nl od paste pr ptx sha1sum sort split tac tail tr unexpand \
    uniq wc ldd bash id irb mkdir rmdir wget curl; do
    have $i && complete -F _longopt -o filenames $i
done

# These commands do not use filenames, so '-o filenames' is not needed.
for i in env netstat seq uname units; do
    have $i && complete -F _longopt -o default $i
done
unset i

Ubuntu Natty:
for i in a2ps awk bash bc bison cat colordiff cp csplit \
    curl cut date df diff dir du enscript env expand fmt fold gperf gprof \
    grep grub head indent irb ld ldd less ln ls m4 md5sum mkdir mkfifo mknod \
    mv netstat nl nm objcopy objdump od paste patch pr ptx readelf rm rmdir \
    sed seq sha{,1,224,256,384,512}sum shar sort split strip tac tail tee \
    texindex touch tr uname unexpand uniq units vdir wc wget who; do
    have $i && complete -F _longopt -o default $i
done
unset i

It looks to me as if the Debian config does different things depending on which command is run, while in Ubutu someone tried to merge the two command blocks but got the settings wrong.
