For the bash completion command you posted, it doesn’t seem to work on Debian 11.

So I looked into it and it seems like the bash completions are stored in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/headcompletion.

This should work on Debian 11:

headscale completion bash | sudo tee -a /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/headcompletion;  . ~/.bashrc
