[Bug 1381049] [NEW] scp bash completion fails when remote computer uses busybox

[JonHurst]

Public bug reported:

Running 12.04 at the moment, but latest version appears to be affected
as well.

The issue is that the ssh call to get the directory listings for
completion for scp use the bash "command" builtin and busybox does not
have this available and therefore fails.

Removing the "command" allows busybox ls to be called and everything
works as expected (see attached patch).

The patch also replaces the $nospace variable in the call to complete
with -o nospace, but this does seem to have been fixed in the latest
version.

** Affects: bash-completion (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Patch added: "ssh.patch"
