Public bug reported:

bash completion, defined in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ufw,
doesn't work: the completion is not dynamically loaded, because it uses
deprecated helper function have().

According to /usr/share/bash-completions/bash_completion, which defines
the helper functions:

# Backwards compatibility for compat completions that use have().
# @deprecated should no longer be used; generally not needed with dynamically
#             loaded completions, and _have is suitable for runtime use.

and at the end of the file:

unset -f have
unset have

which means: function have() is not available for usage. The bash
completion for ufw conditionally defines _ufw and the comspec:

have ufw &&                                                                     
                                                                                
                                  
_ufw()
...

[ "$have" ] && complete -F _ufw ufw

These should be changed to:

_have ufw &&                                                                    
                                                                                
                                   
_ufw()
...

_have ufw && complete -F _ufw ufw
