Well, even more convenient, I have just created a [MR] on salsa. [MR]: <https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pmount/-/merge_requests/3> Dear maintainer(s) of the 'pmount' Debian package, please review and accept my [MR]! > > > The patch: > > * removes '/etc/bash_completion.d/pmount' entirely, since it is my > understanding that placing completion scripts into that location is > obsolete and/or deprecated By the way, I noticed that the current 'pmount' Debian package (version 0.9.23-9 in trixie, forky, and sid, at the time of writing) does not ship '/etc/bash_completion.d/pmount' at all. It changed its destination in version 0.9.23-5, see the changes to file 'debian/pmount.install' in the relevant [commit]. [commit]: <https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pmount/-/commit/aa13a23418e3da187e1ba999506a90a2fd149f82#a0867916bfd2f1a4ecd9a257b27411d63efa8a05> Howeover, I found two identical 'pmount' files on my box: '/etc/bash_completion.d/pmount' and '/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/pmount' The 'pmount' Debian package was installed on my box before 2020, and that's for sure. But the leftover file in /etc/bash_completion.d/ should not have survived the upgrade from pmount/0.9.23-3 to pmount/0.9.23-5 ... Maybe the leftover file is still there, because it is under /etc and was treated as a conffile: should this problem be addressed by adding some code in 'pmount.postinst' ? Something like 'rm -f /etc/bash_completion.d/pmount' with some comment to explain that this completion script directory is obsolete?
