[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#563871: should not provide completion for invoke-rc.d

[Steve Langasek]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.1-1
Severity: important

I noticed in the context of a conversation with a bug submitter that
bash-completion provides completion for invoke-rc.d using the contents
in /etc/init.d.  invoke-rc.d is an interface for maintainer scripts,
it is *not* an interface for admins, and therefore we should not be
encouraging its use by admins by providing tab completion for interactive
shells.  Please drop the tab completion for this command from
/etc/bash_completion.d/sysv-rc.
