Isn't that for executing than autocompleting?

Yes, that's correct, it's only about searching the right directories to find and execute the program you asked for.

But autocomplete after sudo doesn't work for me on a stock Debian install anyway, not sure what one needs to do to get around that. I don't really rely on it. If I'm doing enough work that needs root I start the session with "sudo su -" anyway so not having autocomplete after sudo is not a big deal for me.
