Murat, thanks for the information. However, as I said above I will not spend any time trying to get bash-completion into main. My time to spend on bash-completion is limited and I'd rather fix the bugs and get them upstream (or assume maintainership). It does not make sense to fix these bugs just in Ubuntu, that's just what I happen to be using, and getting the updated package in was easy enough. But I see my time better spend fixing the bugs and getting upstream maintainance going again. That way all distributions benefit from the fixes.

So to repeat: If anyone wants to have bash-completion in the default install, he will have to do the necessary things himself, because I won't do it (I'll help if I can, obviously).

As for the Main inclusion process. I'm not sure it's necessary, since bash-completion has been in main forever and was just moved to universe as a result of the package split that was done very recently. So maybe it'll be easier to get it back into main than normal packages.
