$ ./get-completions | ./completion-qa-check.py | grep gvfs
gvfs: does not declare completion for gvfs
gvfs-ls: missing completion symlink for command (declared in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gvfs)
gvfs-info: missing completion symlink for command (declared in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gvfs)
gvfs-trash: missing completion symlink for command (declared in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gvfs)
gvfs-cat: missing completion symlink for command (declared in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gvfs)
gvfs-copy: missing completion symlink for command (declared in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gvfs)
gvfs-save: missing completion symlink for command (declared in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gvfs)
gvfs-move: missing completion symlink for command (declared in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gvfs)

gvfs-monitor-file: missing completion symlink for command (declared in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gvfs)
gvfs-tree: missing completion symlink for command (declared in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gvfs)
gvfs-monitor-dir: missing completion symlink for command (declared in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gvfs)
gvfs-rm: missing completion symlink for command (declared in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gvfs)

Long story short, you need to have a file in $completionsdir for every command, and preferably none with names not matching commands. So preferably, $completionsidr would look like:

  gvfs-open
  gvfs-info -> gvfs-open
  gvfs-ls -> gvfs-open
  ...

or similarly -- having script for one command, and symlinking all others to it.

Not sure if you have any link with information about this as I will need to report to upstream too :/

Well, I've written on the general rules on our wiki [1]. However, if you mean something like an official proof that's the correct way, I haven't assembled anything like that yet.
