Hmm... not sure, it's distro specific decision/policy.

Maybe we need --disable-bash-completion, it should enough.

Which files? We can add some info to ReleaseNotes to make it easy for
distros.

What about to use .ul (or .util-linux) suffix for the conflicting
files and in the bash-completion package check for these files and use
it if exists? See for example:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=bash-completion/bash-completion.git;a=blob;f=completions/umount

CC: to bash-completion-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org, maybe they
already have any idea how to resolve the conflicts between packages.
