Dear Maintainer,

This may be a minor issue but still a slight inconvenience. I often use autopurge for removing packages, but I cannot get autosuggestion to suggest package names.
Also, when pressing tab, not all options and flags are listed (missing many like autopurge.)
This is an issue for apt-get too, I think the problem is that the autosuggestion file is not comprehensive enough for bash and zsh.

Control: reassign -1 zsh-common

We do not provide completions for zsh. As far as I can tell they are
provided by zsh-common.

zsh-common: /usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion/Debian/_apt

Please note that we do not provide means to query options and
commands yet. A future version of apt will include the necessary
means to build an autocomplete functionality on top rather than
hardcoding all the bits.

You provide completions for bash though?
