## NAME
       dh_bash-completion - install bash completions for package

## SYNOPSIS
       **dh**___**bash-completion** [_debhelper_ _options_]

## DESCRIPTION
       dh_bash-completion is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing completions for
       bash, usable installing the "bash-completion" package.

       If a file named debian/package.bash-completion exists, then different actions are performed,
       depending on its format.

       It can be a proper completion snippet, and in that case it would be installed in the
       completion directory, and no other actions would be performed.

       It can also be a list of files, with an optionally specified name to call the completion
       snippet after. The file format is as follows:

         my/path/to/foo-completion       # this would be installed as "foo-completion"
         my/path/to/bar-completion  baz  # this would be installed as "baz"
