I don't think an own package makes sense because that package would
(in addition to changelog and copyright) contain just the single file
/etc/bash_completion. This package also can't automatically setup
/etc/bash.bashrc to include the completions because that's a conffile
of a different package and policy forbids modification of other
package's conffiles in postinst scripts.

So I suggest to include this single file in the bash package together
with a commented section to /etc/bash.bashrc:

#Uncomment this section to enable advanced TAB completion
#if [ "$PS1" ] && [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then # interactive shell
#        . /etc/bash_completion
#fi
