If you'd looked a bit harder, you would have realised that this change
was made (and botched) by bash_bash-completion.  The bug should be
fixed there rather than in every package that uses it.

Sorry, there wasn't any indication someone had already filed a bug, fixing.

I doubt this is fixable by bash-completion though.

Bug reports [1,2,3,4] explaining that the fix needs to be done by the
packages: dkms, dlocate, git, and grub2, have been created.  There's
nothing that bash-completion can do to fix this, because the obsolete
path is hardcoded in those packages.

Thanks for the reports, messages, investigations, etc.

If you believe that my explanations and/or rationale are wrong, please
do not hesitate in reopening the bug. :)

Cheers,
Gabriel
