The way it is supposed to work is as follows:
In /etc/skel/.bashrc we have the following:
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
This was added in version: 3.1-3 in March 2006. So this was active since
edgy at least. And it is still present on my hardy installation.
The files in /etc/skel are copied into the home directories of new
users. However this will not change anything for old users. So if you
have a user account that was created before edgy or have
edited/overwritten your ~/.bashrc then you may not have these lines in
your ~/.bashrc. In this case take a look at the file /etc/skel/.bashrc
and copy the relevant lines into your ~/.bashrc.
I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have more questions.
