Would like to ask for action about how to finally handle bash-completion
on Gentoo. Looks like we are using a different approach as upstream to
handle completions now, there was a try (one year ago) to try to switch
to upstream style but seems that the revision implementing that was
later dropped due some arguments.

Currently, we are blocked with old stable version as testing one neither
works:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472938 -> It explains the
upstream way of handling completions. The version that implemented it
was 2.1-r1, it was later removed by Samuli (that did most of the work)
as looks like others complained.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486306 -> this shows how current
2.1 version is the tree has some problems blocking its stabilization
until a decision is made finally
