I slightly modified it, to make it more compact ([ -n "$services" ] instead of
the if..fi), and I've already applied it upstream.

The error you reported should only occur if every file in /etc/init.d/ has a
proper completion (that's the meaning of "complete -p ${i##*/} || printf
[..]"). This seems unlikely to happen again, but better be safe than sorry.
I can't say why it happened in your case.

I fixed it upstream, will make a Debian patch (with a package upload) ASAP (I
want to fix the RC-bug with -2).

Thank you for your contribution!
David
