I don't know where I got that one, but I have a "myautopkgtest" script
containing only:
  autopkgtest $1 -- schroot unstable-amd64-sbuild

and in my .bashrc :

_myautopkgtest()
{
          local cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}
            COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -f -X '!*.dsc' -- $cur ) )
              return 0
      }
complete -F _myautopkgtest myautopkgtest

That's a pretty trivial hack, but it does save quite a few keystrokes,
when one checks a package before an upload.

Cheers,
