---------------
bash-completion (1:2.0-1ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

      with the new version
  * Resync with Debian, remaining diff
    * debian/patches/disable-avahi-browse.diff: Disable avahi-browse since
      it scales poorly in the current form: refresh patch

      OGG formats including .oga, .ogx, etc. (LP: #311525)

      completion rules. (LP: #743208)

      since lucid: lucid upgrades are only supported to precise.
  * Those fixes are in the new version
    * debian/patches/apt-get-changelog.patch:
    * Drop whitelists if they fail to produce any results:
    * patches/apt-get-download.patch: Add download as an apt-get

    * patches/102_manpager.patch: Override MANPAGER when generating perldoc
      completions.
