[ubuntu-us-mn] bash-completion error message

While thrashing around trying to solve the "Weird keyboard input
failure" one suspect was error messages I'd been getting
when opening a terminal:

 bash: /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion: line 226: syntax error
 near unexpected token `}'
 bash: /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion: line 226: `}'

This was not related to the keyboard problem.  I have now tracked
down a way to avoid the bash-completion error messages.
I had a command alias named "done" which displays a full screen
"DONE" on the terminal to get my attention when a big file download
is complete.  If there is a bash alias named "done" or one named
"do" the bash-completion error is shown.

My workaround is to rename the alias to "bigdone".
