Unfortunately, lintian is not happy with my solution above (does not allow subdirs in /usr/bin and however git-subrepo script searches its helper functions in git-subrepo.d subdir in the location of main git-subrepo script). I managed to prepare another solution, without changing upstream sources in a way to move 'git-subrepo' executable scripts into /usr/libexec/git-subrepo and by adding a symlink to main git-subrepo executable into /usr/bin. That way bash- completion integration works as in the initial solution and lintian is also happy. I pushed (forced) the new solution over the previous one. regards, Samo
