Title:
  Bash programmed autocomplete of commands with space within backquotes
  fails

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in bash-completion package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bash

  With Bash programable autocomplete (/etc/bash_completion), commands
  within backquotes containing a space doesn't get autocompleted
  properly:

  $ touch ~/some_file_`date -I`.txt
  $ ls ~/some_file_`date -I`.txt
  /home/gaby/some_file_2008-08-03.txt

  So far this works, but if I press the <TAB> key at the end of the command:
  $ ls ~/some_file`date /home/gaby/some_file_2008-08-03.txt 

  The autocompletion doesn't overwrite the whole argument and leaves
  "~/some_file`date " in front of it.

  This bug could be related to Bug #219406

  PS: The backquotes feature works only with bash programmed completion
  (/etc/bash_completion).
