Initial Comment:
Hello,
currently bash-completion provides completion for tool `makepkg' assuming that it is Slackware one, but there is other tool with such name: in Archlinux the package manager, pacman, provides tool `makepkg' and completion for it, see
http://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/tree/contrib

I think bash-completion behaves wrongly, it shouldn't provide completion for `makepkg' it is purpose of the "package", in Slackware one would install necessary tool and the package should provide optionally the completion for bash, that's how package `pacman' do in Archlinux.
