Well, Hans's package name often are short and unique (He primarily
maintains "games"). Many of mine are perl packages with long and winding
names: perl-Text-Quoted-2.02-3.fc7.src.rpm

Unless I am mistaken such kind of package names kill this crazy
auto-completion (I just tried what you said above, and even then it
hardly worked.)
