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).
