I can't see much by way of patches that could go across to 4.0.5. A
quick search for new completion functions which aren't on the 4.0 branch
gives me this list:
_apt-show-versions _debchange _larch _mysqldiff _texinfo _valgrind _limit
I'll apply _texinfo across unless Andrej says otherwise.

Also, we should perhaps either move _mondo out of Completion/Linux or
move _modutils and _valgrind in to join it.

Also, I had lying about patches against both the documentation and
comments in the source code to fix some typos, spellings and poor
wordings. I've attached these below. I'll only change documentation
files on the 4.0 branch though.

Sorry, I've not had much time to look at the parameter stuff. It'd
perhaps be best to put out 4.1.x releases without any single big change.
As you say there is plenty of new stuff.
