That package does not contain examples/loadables. But there is a package
'bash-builtins' which doesn't contain 'rm' and 'cat' either.

Opening a new bug report via 'reportbug' seems to trigger another Debian
bug. You can see the bug entry at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;package=bash-builtins
(#929702), but clicking on it gives "There is no record of Bug #929702".
That makes me feel sick.

Also, I opened a similar bug at Debian years ago - but it's not on the
list of bash or bash-builtins any more. Seems like bugs become removed
or are "lost" somehow sometimes. No idea what happened.

Thanks for motivating me to create a (/another) bug for this issue.
