Hello,
just FYI, dconf 0.30 now require a package named bash-completion for
which is found on github:
https://github.com/scop/bash-completion.git
but for which, debian and other distro package it out in tarball form
>from this git tree.
I used git clone -b 2.8 https://github.com/scop/bash-completion.git
to download and install

p.s. dconf itself is needed by gdm 3.30.2

But it did not used to be required. If it is now, it should be easy to
circumvent.

I don't see why we shouldn't add it. We have several packages that
already put completions in there, systemd included. There are several
"neutral" packages which do as well.
It seems to be a nice feature.
It should be optional. Personally, I think all the bash completions get
in the way. If you do use it, then using 'set' to look at
environment/local variables becomes difficult because the protocol adds
over a thousand lines to the environment. If you have bash completions
enabled, look at what set|sort|less gives you.
To a certain point, bash completions (I'm not talking about filename
completions) are a substitute for man pages. Since I always have at
least two terminals open on my screen at any time, if I need to look up
an option I just use man in the other other terminal.
