Bug Description
Binary package hint: openssh-client
In my .ssh/config file, I have a number of entries like the following:
Host sodium sodium.ubuntu.com devpad devpad.
HostName devpad.
[...]
From a bash prompt, if I enter 'scp sod' and hit <tab>, I get the following result:
$ scp sodium sodium.ubuntu.com devpad devpad.
The bash tab completion needs to be made aware that the Host lines in the config file can contain multiple hostnames and aliases.

I confirm this behaviour on up to date edgy.
ssh completes correctly but scp doesn't
