None of the pkg developpers are using bash or bash completion so ... we are
accepting patches... you might understand that the number of people involved in
pkg(8) is pretty low, and lot of work is still needed on the pkg front.

I won't personnally spend my time on bash completion because I have imho way too
many things to do.
