Bug Description

The su bash-completiton isn't working in 19.04 or 19.10.
There is 2 files related to su bash completion in 19.10:
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/_su
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/su

However, I had to get the file /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/su in Ubuntu 16.04 and put it in /etc/bash_completion.d/

su USER+TAB now complete the username.

The issue has been reproted upstream on https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/issues/253 and they pointed out it's a util-linux problem since that's the package shipping the file
