I'm in favour of installing bash-completion by default because it's not
really about adding functionality but rather about working around a
problem with bash: It's silly and wrong that tab completion only works
on filenames.

"ssh " TAB - do you want to ssh to Desktop or to Documents?

Consider a hypothetical bash-uncompletion which just blacklists tab
completion in those cases where it doesn't make sense but never adds any
new completion sources. Should that be installed by default? It would be
rather small and light.
