We already have an earlier proposal, though: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84921 As I explained in the bug, I don't like using bash-completion.pc, because it will give a directory that will make us overwrite distro files, which is something that I think we should never do by default. It should be a user choice to overwrite distro files, so it should be possible for the user to configure the bash completion directory. Even better would be if Bash supported loading completions under /usr/local even when Bash itself is installed to some other prefix. For comparison, Zsh uses /usr/local in its default completion search paths. -- Tanu
