If you do custom stuff like this, you already know enough to understand the consequences of removing the symlinks.

Of course, you could have asked for proper /usr/local support... but why?

People who installed bash-completion after 27.08 have all completions in completionsdir already. For them, the symlinks will still be valid yet unnecessary. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
