Please don't.
That directory is being kept for compatibility reasons, and it's currently the
place where third-party software is supposed to install completion files.

The files you see there aren't provided by the bash-completion package, but by
others packages (you can verify with "dpkg
-S /etc/bash_completion.d/something"). Don't worry, they're supposed to be
there, at least for now :)

Kindly,
David
