Why does the package install files it cannot use?

# qfile /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/pkg_info
app-shells/bash-completion (/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/pkg_info)


Reproducible: Always

It's not this simple but I plan to look at this list eventually. The problem is, this package installs completions for a number of tools, and if those tools are not installed, the completions do not enable themselves.

I'm going to close this one as OBSO since the list is no longer up-to-date. There's no need to report a new bug for it, I see it on every bump ;-).
