Can't get aliases added to Bash completion

[yermulnik]

I'm truing to debug why Bash completion for Brew aliases work on one of my systems, while it doesn't on another. "Affected" system:

> brew --version
Homebrew 4.3.18

> brew tap | fgrep alias
homebrew/aliases

> brew tap-info homebrew/aliases
homebrew/aliases: Installed
3 commands
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-aliases (243 files, 908.8KB)

Is there anything I can take a look into to understand why the same setup on another system works w/o issues and lists Brew aliases? Maybe some specific place inside /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/etc/bash_completion.d/brew file that I couldn't identify during my own investigation? 🤔 Thanks.

@MikeMcQuaid That makes sense, though I have no option to open discussion in this repo 🤷🏻
