I am not sure if it is a hard dependency. gnome-shell will work without
bash completions for the extension manager, so it's more like a
requisite to cheat meson for gnome-shell, i. e. BUILD_DEPENDS.

Do we want bash-completion also as a run-time dependency?  If so, it's a
more consistent experience at the expense of two more direct requisites
packages (bash-completion, bash).

Any other good reasons to decide about the RUN_DEPENDS, either way?
