- In Debian, /etc/bash_completion is a config file, so you can edit it
  and it's preserved over upgrades.

- However, it's now a very large config file.

splitting the file into one file per completion might slow down
startup, so maybe another solution is needed? Upstream distributes
bash_completion as one large file, so everthing be done in the
distribution has maintainer overhead. CC'ing Ian, if some solution can
be found.
