I'm running tests nightly, against git head, on Debian (5.0.3).  There's one
unexpected failure concerning rpm, which Ville is working on.  These are the
results of last night:


bash-3.2.39(1)-release
-----------------------------------
# of expected passes            360
# of unexpected failures        1
# of expected failures          1
# of unsupported tests          166


bash-4.0.33(1)-release
-----------------------------------
# of expected passes            359
# of unexpected failures        1
# of expected failures          2
# of unsupported tests          166


bash-4.0.35(2)-release
-----------------------------------
# of expected passes            360
# of unexpected failures        1
# of expected failures          1
# of unsupported tests          166


As said in Alioth #312183, I'm reluctant to run/fix bash-completion-2-tests for
bash < 3.2 if the vast majority of users is using bash >= 3.2 and bash < 3.2
users can rely on bash_completion-1?  There're lots of bugs/improvements for
bash >= 3.2 we'd better pay attention to?
