Looking into this more, I'm not convinced bash_completion is the right answer here. After all, it also requires explicit user configuration and doesn't actually work if the symlink is in /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion. It feels like misusing bash-completion for something it wasn't designed for. I actually think, the best way to address this, if we want to address it, is to revert the upstream change for now and don't require every user to change their config until we have found a better solution. I might even be convinced to do a stable upload for this, given the patch is not too invasive.
