Thanks for providing dh_bash-completion, I didn't know about this
tool until a few hours ago.

I still have a tiny complaint: IMO the behaviour of
dh_bash-completion is counter-intuitive because it installs _the
file_ debian/package.bash-completion whereas the other debhelper
helpers act on files _mentioned_ in debian/package.foo. And that
would be easier for dh_bash-completion since I could just name
upstream or debian bash completion files there regardless of where
they are and how they are called.

Please consider changing the behaviour of dh_bash-completion for
future releases.

Cheers,
gregor
