(I'm running ~amd64).  When I try the first two commands you list above
I get similar results (776 vs 729).  The output of your third command
looks wrong:

It seems that 'ls' is not listing the contents of /usr/share/bash-completion
but instead is showing you a long list of possible bash-completions.  Am
I understanding your question/problem correctly?

Does 'ls -l' show you something different?
