Ever since I remember, file auto-completion never worked: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=597721 > files.

Try harmer it again, and tell me how it was like (I fixed all your issues, except I think displaying changelog is overkill). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
