So I guess it's more about the eselect module, and allowing it to move specific bash-completion files to temporary directory, making them out-of-scope for the bash-completion autoloader (yes, there is an autoloader) that mimics the outcome of putting specific bash-completion files to INSTALL_MASK So, yeah, I don't know how council would be able to help here... Other than request people to write the new eselect module... - Samuli
