Package: bash-completion Version: 1:2.11-6 Severity: important
The current package version was taken from upstream somewhen in 2020. Since then, a lot has happened upstream.
Please update this package to the current upstream version. That version is reasonably maintained.
I got here (and classify this as 'important') because there seem to be really annoyhing bugs in the old version. I have a problem where file completion of ls reproducibly hangs for many seconds in the _filedir function. This does not happen when I swap /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion for the upstream version. I am not sure it's worth debugging this further, given the outdated state of this package in Debian.
