if  I  remember well,  there  was  a discussion  about  such
requirement  in  the  context  of zsh.  the  requirement  is
unnecessary, because if you  have no bash completion package
installed, then  you will not  use provided files.  this way
the directory  is not required  and lack of  the requirement
does not break anything.

now, the requirement forces you to install the package, which is
not good idea - there are people who do not need bash, but use
the tools (now - tool - to be very specific)
