bash-completion doesn't work for man command

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

Typing `man ` and pressing tab key twice which triggers auto-completion for other commands (e.g. `ls`) doesn't trigger auto-completion for available manpages.

I don't know if that worked before, so it might be a regression or feature request.

There are autocompletions for man. They are installed in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/

I can't reproduce the problem.

`man `<TAB><TAB>
Display all 5483 possibilities? (y or n)

Seems to be fixed in `man-db` 2.7.5-1 and `bash-completion` 1:2.1-4.3ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 16.10.
