Thanks, I was indeed considering doing one by myself but never got the
time to write it down :)

I'll surely add it to the next upload of the package, but I've some
comments / requests:
- I've changed (not yet committed though) the license of
  vim-addon-manager to GPL v3 or above, do you mind changing the license
  of your completion script accordingly? It won't be a big deal to have
  both licenses in the package, but I would prefer to have uniformity
  ...
- I've changed a bit the packaging part of your patch, mainly to install
  as /etc/bash_completion.d/vim-addon-manager to match package name
  rather than executable name
- feature requests (nothing strongly required, but which would be pretty
  handy I think):
  1) after "install" only list addons which are not in the "installed"
     state; after "remove" only list addons which are not in the
     "removed" state and so on ...
  2) after "list" do not complete addon names
  If you're interested in adding support for (1) I can add a "-q" option
  (for "query" or "quiet") which when passed to status will only show
  the status wrt the current target directory and output it in a more
  easily parsable way (e.g. "name <TAB> status"). At that point the
  completion will just invoke something like "vim-addon -q status" and
  grep for the appropriate statuses. Just let me know if you want to
  work on that (I can do the "vim-addons" part)

Cheers.
