[Deborphan-devel] Bug#658773: deborphan: dpkg-completion doesn't work until a dpkg completion has been attempted

[Mike Miller]

I just ran across this bug on my system.  I briefly poked in
/usr/share/bash-completion to see what the other dpkg/apt commands are
doing and I think something like the following is needed:

    COMPREPLY=( $( _xfunc dpkg _comp_dpkg_installed_packages "$cur" ) )

which should dynamically load the function from the "dpkg" file and
then call it.
