+Bash-completion is written with FHS in mind where completion scripts
+all get added to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions and are picked
+up by the dynamic completion loader from there---whether they are
+part of bash-completion or installed by another package.
+
+On Guix systems, we want not only to search within bash-completion's own
+directory, but also in the user's profile and in the system profile.
+This is what this patch does.
