Thank you for this dh module! After browsing the examples, I came up with
an old problem about these completion scripts -- whether the completions
should be loaded by default, and whether that behavior should be synced
among shells.

Do you think it is useful to define some flags for
dh_shell_completions, like --enable-by-default, --disable-by-default
to decide whether a completion file should be enabled by default.

I'm raising this question because I find it somewhat confusing
because different shells do the completions and keybindings in very
different ways. For instance, fzf: https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/fzf/-/blob/master/debian/README.Debian

As you can see, key-binding scripts are similar to completion scripts.
Maybe they can be dealt by the same dh module as well. Generally
key-binding scripts should not be enabled by default due to potential conflicts.

A quick search suggests that both policy and devref do not cover
the shell integration topic.

An example that resembles what I'm talking about is dh_installsystemd.
It has --no-enable, --restart-after-upgrade, --no-restart-after-upgrade,
etc flags to control the systemd unit behavior upon dpkg actions.

Hi all,

Kind of a shameless plug, but enough people said it's useful so I
thought might as well let more know.

I'll not go into great details, because there isn't any. Just check
its man page and source code:

thanks to ncts for writing this. Am a very happy user of this.
To expand a bit on the functionality:
dh-shellcompletions automatically generates the completion files for the respective shells (if the binary has this built-in as subcommand) and
installs in into the correct dirs.
.
No more d/rules hacks needed.

best,

werdahias

Honestly, I found about it after looking for exactly this, and it is a
perfect match for my (yet to be released) crazy-complete package: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/crazy-complete/-/commit/4be5615207a4b8f21918240d9e2673e8c3ecd2e4

I just wanted to say thank you for creating this.
