[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#675299: bash-completion: sudo -u <tab> should complete usernames

[Matthew Gabeler-Lee]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.99-3
Severity: normal

Completion for sudo should understand some of sudo's options, most
importantly (for me), the -u option.

sudo -u <tab> completes commands as if the -u was not there.

Following on from that, sudo -u user <tab> doesn't complete commands, and
sudo -u user command <tab> doesn't do completion for the command.

Ideally most or all of sudo's options should be understood, or at least the
ones that take an argument recognized as such so that they don't break
command completion later on the command line.
