ACK.

Quick workaround:

  ln -s /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/man /var/lib/bash-completion/

In the meanwhile, I'll add man-db, and other missing completions, to a
"whitelist", so that they always get loaded. At least I don't introduce
regressions :)

I need to come with something better upstream though, and the idea of metadata
inside the completion files gets stronger each day :)

Sorry for the inconvenience,
David
