There are autocompletions for man. They are installed in /usr/share
/bash-completion/completions/

I can't reproduce the problem.

`man `<TAB><TAB>
Display all 5483 possibilities? (y or n)

** Changed in: bash-completion (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
  bash-completion doesn't work for man command

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Typing `man ` and pressing tab key twice which triggers auto-
  completion for other commands (e.g. `ls`) doesn't trigger auto-
  completion for available manpages.

  I don't know if that worked before, so it might be a regression or
  feature request.
