Aha. There's a debian bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=834695
which refers to a solved upstream bug:
https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/issues/70

... so I guess I just have to wait for it to get to debian, probably in
buster.

In the meantime, I've modified
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion

to suit my own needs (diff attached).
