First two distinct hits when Googling "ubuntu psql completion":

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/164772

Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with Ubuntu or Debian nor have a strong 
opinion on the issue - the argument in the Ubuntu bug tracker seems quite 
valid to me though.  I've added a pointer to that bug in sources and CHANGES 
in git.

See the _pg_databases and _pg_users completion functions.
