  apt install of local debs does not tab-complete

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Previously apt's bash completion was such that, given

      $ mkdir xyzzz
      $ touch xyzzy.deb xyzzx.two.deb

  you'd get

      $ apt install xyzz<tab>
      xyzzx.two.deb  xyzzz/
      $ apt install /tmp/foo/xyzz<tab>
      xyzzx.two.deb  xyzzz/

  this is inconsistent (xyzzx.two.deb is listed but not xyzzy.deb), but
  worse than that it offered things that apt would not actually
  recognise as candidates for install:

      $ sudo apt install xyzzx.two.deb
      Reading package lists... Done
      Building dependency tree
      Reading state information... Done
      E: Unable to locate package xyzzx.two.deb
      E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'xyzzx.two.deb'
      E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'xyzzx.two.deb'

  [Test case]
  With this small (trival, really) change, apt's bash completion should
  only offer things apt understands, and won't recquire an aditional
  period in the filename to offer it:

      $ apt install xyzz<tab>^C
      $ # (no completions!)
      $ apt install ./xyzz<tab>
      xyzzx.two.deb  xyzzy.deb      xyzzz/
      $ apt install /tmp/foo/xyzz
      xyzzx.two.deb  xyzzy.deb      xyzzz/

  
  [Regression potential]
  Only the expansion of filenames in the completion is affected:
  -                _filedir "*.deb"
  +                if [[ "$cur" == ./* || "$cur" == /* ]]; then
  +                    _filedir "deb"
  +                fi
  so it's unlikely to introduce any regression.

  [Original bug report]

  this fails:

  $ touch xyzzy.deb
  $ apt install xyzzy<tab>

  because the completion support for install is using _filedir wrong.
