Yeah thanks, I remembered that just after posting.  But my issue 
remains,  I almost always want completion to stop trying to be clever 
and just give me local file completions.

and:

	Installing packages from local .deb files is not the task for apt-get.
	You should use `dpkg -i` instead.

Actually I know, but I just wanted to demonstrate the issue with completion and that showed the issue.
