Well, Zsh's completion file is as simple as that:

| % cat /usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion/Unix/_npm
| #compdef npm
|
| # Node Package Manager 0.3.15 completion, letting npm do all the completion work
|
| _npm() {
|   compadd -- $(_npm_complete $words)
| }
|
| # We want to show all errors of any substance, but never the "npm (not )ok" one.
| # (Also doesn't consider "ERR! no match found" worth breaking the terminal for.)
| _npm_complete() {
|   local ask_npm
|   ask_npm=(npm completion --color false --loglevel error -- $@)
|   { _call_program npm $ask_npm 2>&1 >&3 \
|   | egrep -v '^(npm (not |)ok|ERR! no match found)$' >&2; \
|   } 3>&1
| }
|
| _npm "$@"

And running the "npm completion" command even without any further
arguments fails (in Zsh and Bash):

| % npm completion
|
| npm ERR! Error: ENOENT, open '/usr/share/npm/lib/utils/completion.sh'
| npm ERR! You may report this log at:
| npm ERR!     <http://bugs.debian.org/npm>
| npm ERR! or use
| npm ERR!     reportbug --attach /home/mika/npm-debug.log npm
| npm ERR!
| npm ERR! System Linux 3.2.0-1-grml-amd64

| npm ERR! node -v v0.6.17
| npm ERR! npm -v 1.1.4
| npm ERR! path /usr/share/npm/lib/utils/completion.sh
| npm ERR! code ENOENT
| npm ERR! message ENOENT, open '/usr/share/npm/lib/utils/completion.sh'
| npm ERR! errno {}
| npm ERR!
| npm ERR! Additional logging details can be found in:
| npm ERR!     /home/mika/npm-debug.log
| npm not ok

So from my POV the completion command of npm is broken in the Debian
package.
