Eheh :)
And we're having a newer upstream in our bzr repository ;)

That is great!

Are these patches tested enough? How long have they been applied in the Fedora
package?
We don't want another plethora of bugs *gh* ;)

However, please file a request to join the group:

http://alioth.debian.org/projects/bash-completion/

Also, please subscribe to the mailing list (you can see it CCed, just join it
at lists.alioth.debian.org ) -- it would be really cool to have some sort of
cross-distribution development (we already have a gentoo maintainer in our IRC
channel, #bash-completion on irc.oftc.net).

Thank you for your help!

Kindly,
