I do strongly agree... Installing packages and working fast on the commandline without autocompletion since Alpha 5 is a mess...
I first thought it would be a bug and looked up all my bashrc config files but autocompletion was enabled per-user already. I tried enabling it in the global /etc/bash.bashrc but nothing happened. Fortunately I found this bug report after a lot searching in launchpad.

To mention: before doing anything bash completed the first command typed in (e.g "sudo"), but the following one seemed to be interpreted as parameter and therefore did not autocomplete (e.g. "apt-get"). After installing bash-completion everything worked fine again.

Suggestion: if this is really needed to be done give a hint on it or some comment in the release notes, etc... This will safe a lot of trouble...
