Package: bash-completion
Version: 20080705
Severity: minor

Hi,

In https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/219971
Danil Ilinykh reported that the handling of escaped spaces in /etc/fstab
is not ideal.

"Because of I can't use "/some path" or /some\ path in fstab, I write
some\040path as mount point. I write "mount /some" in bash and press
Tab, I see "mount /some\\040path" instead of "mount /some\ path""

I can verify this behaviour on sid.

Thanks,

James
