In principle all fixes should be upstreamed, but this is a trivial
packaging change that can be easily and safely done just in
Fedora. Installed software genenerally does not care where its
bash-completion files installed, or even if they are installed at all.

Every file removed from /etc/bash_completion.d brings us closer to having
actual configuration files in /etc, and is a worthy goal.
