Bug#829528: Please migrate bash-completion file from "bash-completion" package to desktop-file-utils



Package: desktop-file-utils
Version: 0.23-1
Severity: wishlist

The changelog for 0.23-1 mentions:
>   * Do not install bash-completion (already provided by "bash-completion").

This seems the wrong way around.  bash-completion provides completions
for packages that don't provide completions for themselves.[1]  If a
package has its own completion file, ideally bash-completion should stop
providing that completion, and the package should start providing it
(and conflict with bash-completion versions that provided it).
