We really only shipped the apt completion, because nobody at the
bash-completion side was merging it.

I'm not sure. This involves some coordination from both sides
with Replaces and Conflicts or stuff.

I don't particularly like merging bash completions, or any completions
for that matter. How many shells will we end up with? We did what we
had to do with apt(8), but I'm not yet convinced that doing this is
the right solution.

I suggest you talk to apt-build people about that.
