I'm not an expert on bash-completion either, but here are my thoughts on 
what's in .bashrc now.  Someone who knows more should comment further.

This is obsolete because (a) /etc/bash_completion has been replaced by 
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion and (b) the latter is already 
sourced by /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh.

This is probably OK.

This is probably OK.

I don't think this will have any effect unless it's set *before* 
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion is sourced; so it doesn't 
belong in .bashrc now that /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion is 
sourced by /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh.
