Description: programmable completion for the bash shell
 bash completion extends bash's standard completion behavior to achieve
 complex command lines with just a few keystrokes.  This project was
 conceived to produce programmable completion routines for the most
 common Linux/UNIX commands, reducing the amount of typing sysadmins
 and programmers need to do on a daily basis.

You don't need to upgrade to unstable.

Just download
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/bash-completion/bash-completion_2.1-4_all.deb

and install it with "dpkg -i bash-completion_2.1-4_all.deb", and then open a
new bash shell to see if it works.


Thanks,
David
