Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-8
Severity: normal

The bash completion patterns for

bzcat bzcmp bzdiff bzegrep bzfgrep bzgrep
zcmp zdiff zcat zegrep zfgrep zgrep zless zmore

are all wrong: the point of these commands is that they work both with
compressed and uncompressed files, so they should not be restricted to
working only with compressed files.

As far as I can see, the relevant completions are in
/etc/bash_completion at lines 81 and 84, but there's something about
those lines being "completions that are redefined later", which is
odd, because I can see no such definition.

In any case, the above-listed commands only complete on compressed
file names, and that's wrong.
