NAME
dh_bash-completion - install bash completions for package
SYNOPSIS
dh_bash-completion [debhelper options]
DESCRIPTION
dh_bash-completion is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing completions for bash, usable installing
the "bash-completion" package.
In order to use it, you need to pass "--with bash-completion" to debhelper and Build-depend on bash-completion.
If a file named debian/package.bash-completion exists, then different actions are performed, depending on its format.
It can be a proper completion snippet, and in that case it would be installed in the completion directory, and no
other actions would be performed.
It can also be a list of files, with an optionally specified name to call the completion snippet after. The file
format is as follows:
my/path/to/foo-completion # this would be installed as "foo-completion"
my/path/to/bar-completion baz # this would be installed as "baz"
