[Bug 1095180] Re: incorrect bash-completion for sudo

The bug is in the core code of bash_completion, in the functions that
handle commands that take other commands as their arguments, e.g. sudo,
nice, and so on.  Marked invalid for the etckeeper package, but still
confirmed for bash-completion.  (I hope I'm doing this right.  If
there's a way to un-assign it from etckeeper altogether, that would be
best).
