Package: flatpak
Version: 1.10.5-0+deb11u1

flatpak does not do bash completion on pressing tab. After installing
bash-completion package with `sudo apt install bash-completion`; flatpak
works with bash completion.

As flatpak apps have long names it is necessary to have bash completion
functionality.

I'm using:
Debian 5.10.70-1 (2021-09-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Regards,
Rizvan.

flatpak does not do bash completion, bash does bash completion with the
help of files installed by flatpak and other packages (if its recommended
bash-completion package is installed).

If the bash-completion package is not installed, then bash does not
support per-package programmable completions. bash has a Recommends on
bash-completion, so bash-completion should already be installed, unless
you have deliberately taken steps to avoid installing it (in which case
flatpak should not overrule you).

There are currently 621 packages in Debian that install bash-completion
files. It wouldn't scale well for all of those packages to have a Depends,
Recommends or Suggests on bash-completion.

flatpak also installs programmable completion helpers for zsh and fish,
and it would be equally inappropriate for flatpak to depend on those.
