It simply does not make sense to ship completion files for programs that are shipped by another package. That alone should be sufficient reason. After the pulseaudio package does not install the man pages for the pulseaudio-utils programs. Anyway, here's another reason: it's possible to install pulseaudio-utils without installing pulseaudio. In this case the user will not have the bash completion files for the pulseaudio-utils programs. And that's a perfect illustration of the previous point. -- Francois Gouget <fgou...@free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ A particle is an irreducible representation of the Poincaré Group - Eugene Wigner
