None of the pkg developpers are using bash or bash completion so ... we are
accepting patches... you might understand that the number of people involve=
d 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 wa=
y too
many things to do.
