Coming from Bug 292138...

It turns out that bash-completion depends on bash, though technically not
required since bash should always be installed as a direct package. The problem
is that packages like graphics/colord need the pkg-config file to know where to
install its completion file even if bash is never used by the user/client. The
problem is that the use of the pc file pulls in quite some build dependencies
for bash-completion and the bash itself.

Request is not to depend on bash anymore and let the user decide what bash
(dynamic or static) he wants to install. See also comment
