So, thoughts on replacing some of the many files in completions/*
with symlinks to groups of related commands?
We do already have some such cases done but I don't think we have
rules set when to do it and when not. Note

Worth noting that `sort` use temporary files (= $TMPDIR filesystem
accesses).
Not sure about bash's compgen.

apt-cache and apt-get completions use very similar commands, but
slightly different. This is silly. apt-get should just be a symlink
to apt-cache, with the contents in apt-cache.

_apt_cache_sources() {
apt-cache dumpavail | command grep ^Source: $1 | cut -f2 -d | sort -u
}
