Bash-completion fails to parse spaces for umount

[MrZaius]

Binary package hint: bash

This should be an easy one - When a mount point is created with a space in the name (in my case "SANSA CLIP"), bash auto-completion fails at the space.

umount /media/SANSA[TAB] yields "umount /media/SANSA " (note the space, but the lack of a complete path).

Seems to be isolated to umount, but may not be.

Thanks,

Can't confirm this problem with Ubuntu 12.04 because I have the issue in bug 470037 instead

adding info from https://answers.launchpad.net/bash-completion/+question/668391:

Problem is that apparently it is using the plain "umount"-completion rather than the "umount.linux"
If I source /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/umount.linux into running shell, then completion works correctly afterwards in that shell.

Maybe packagers for linux-distributions are supposed to divert umount to umount.linux?
