Suggesting long options this way is by design; short ones should be
suggested only when no equivalent long ones exist. More info in
CONTRIBUTING.md (in upstream git, dunno about the Debian package).

Another idea might be when the user hits TAB
have this kind of list appear:
--bla (-b)
--snorf (-s)
etc.

or
--bla (-b), --snorf (-s),
etc.

I don't think bash's completion features support something like that,
and I'm not sure if I would want to see something like that myself in
the first place.

Maybe there could be a variable users could set: 0/1: to hide
non-recommend completions.
