It seems that bash now includes its own version of the GNU Readline
library. Perhaps the bug should be cloned...
The build dependency on readline for bash was removed here:
bash (2.05b-2-11) unstable; urgency=medium

* Remove build dependency on readline (closes: #215165).

But you reported the bug in 2006. When you said "With readline 5.0
they work fine, but with 5.1 they don't work.", do you remember how
you tested that?
Anyway I can reproduce the Ctrl-u bug with pari-gp, which depends on
libreadline6 (note that this bug is still assigned to libreadline5).
