So to be clear, the changes I'm suggesting are:

* /etc/skel/.bashrc (pkg=base-files) change the progcomp check to an 
un-commented
# enable programmable completion
[[ -e /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh ]] && . 
/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh

* /etc/bash.bashrc (pkg=bash): remove the progcomp commented-out section, maybe 
replace with a comment like:
# enable programmable completion with this line, here or (default) in ~/.bashrc
# [[ -e /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh ]] && . 
/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh

Root's /root/.bashrc doesn't come into play on an ubuntu system,
normally.  Even if you use sudo -s, HOME doesn't change, so you still
get your own ~/.bashrc

If you're mucking around with testing corner cases, put
echo "bash_completion callstack: ${BASH_SOURCE[*]}"
 in /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion to get output like
bash_completion callstack: /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion 
/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh /home/peter/.bashrc

 Or drop that line into /etc/bash_completion.d/trace, if you don't want
to modify a non-conffile.
