Probably because you lost bash completion ?

Before this update, bash completion was enabled by default only for
login shells.
After this update, only for non login shells.

But after this change which was just made into svn, it should be
enabled for both by default :

About dd completion problems, maybe someone should try last git code :
http://git.debian.org/?p=bash-completion/bash-completion.git;a=summary
And if it does not work, report a bug there :
