The changes seem fine, but could you link to somewhere explaining 
(or explain yourself) how bash completions are supposed to work? 
In addition to /etc/bash_completions.d, I see many packages 
installing them into /share/bash-completion.  Do both locations 
work?  Do we need to move eveything into one or the other 
location?

Thanks,
