Is the version in mtx updated? If not, I'd suggest mtx's maintainer (CCed)
to grab the one from bash-completion's git repo.

So, what's the right strategy for these? I added the file in Feb 2004
on request from Jon Middleton, per Debian bug #227456. I haven't given
it a single thought since then...
Does it make sense for me to continue to include the bash completion
file in the mtx package,
Please do so, as already replied by Luk.
or should I instead stop including it and add a suggests on bash-completion
to the package dependencies?
Please don't.
We're planning to purg bash-completion from third-party files -- we're going
to give only a framework people can use to write completions. Yes, we'll also
help writing completions (or do that on our own), but those will be
maintained/packaged/submitted upstream (not sure about maintained, but this is
another question).
As suggested by Luk, I've given the completion a look. I'm attaching a general
patch, since I don't have one of those devices mtx controls :) (so I'm not
really able to parse mtx status for tapes and drives)
The most notable thing is:
-cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}
+cur=`_get_cword`
(the rest of the patch is preventive)
Also, I kindly ask you to use dh_bash-completion: we're soon going to change
directory layout structure (yes, we'll have some compatibility level), and I'll
update dh_bash-completion accordingly when this happens. dh_bash-completion(1)
is your friend :)
(basically, your package needs no modifications to use it. Just the patch I'm
attaching ;) -- the above quoted fragment *must* be applied)
Thank you,
David

Including the file in the mtx package is the way to go, so please do continue to include it. It would be good if one of the bash-completion developers could have a look if the bash completion file in mtx should be updated though.
