In the packaging of bash-completion itself, there were already some instances of such conflicts: http://git.inconstante.eti.br/?p=bash-completion-debian.git;a=commitdiff;h=116456a898d3468f5ae0c0a609a8087de7cd3e58 http://git.inconstante.eti.br/?p=bash-completion-debian.git;a=commitdiff;h=693e47c80aaaeeb50cf4b2b1f563eacbce65f4f5 So, I adopted the same strategy for adb, bts, mount, and umount. >However, I don't know what to do about it.

I still don't know if more collisions will occur on other people's machines. Perhaps I should just let them happen, then address each individual collision reported as a bug against bash-completion? I have just finished the upgrade [1], pushed to mentors [2] and opened a RFS [3].
