14 Ok, from a quick tree grep: there are lots of packages which will
15 probably need to be changed.

17 Before we will start fixing them, we need to decide how we should
18 exactly do it. If we're going not to use bash-completion flag by
19 default, we should probably remove pkg_postinst() from there as well.
20
21 Honestly, I don't see a reason for each package to list how to enable
22 bash-completion. If we do that, we will finally end up outputting
23 complete instructions on every installed file.
