22 His concerns was actually already covered by the first post and the
23 linked bug:
24
25 This is required for smooth migration path from old to new directories.
26 Back when the old thread happened, there was only one possible value for
27 completions dir, now there is two. And nothing prevents upstream
28 adding/changing the values in the .pc file yet again for next release,
29 this should be dynamic -- just like $(get_udevdir), $(get_libdir) etc.
