Hi Daniel et al:
I just noticed this too. Why does daemonic get installed if there are no
dependencies, and why does it need a completion system for an interactive
shell?
Also, when I made a set of files to augment the zsh completion system, I
was told I had to make it depend on fink's zsh package. Why doesn't
bash-completions depend on fink's bash? (Just curious. Nothing more.)

Ah yes, daemonic has tagged bash_completion.d/daemonic as a
"configuration/preferences file", so by default that file persists
even after daemonic is removed. That's a good mechanism (so that
locally applied configs and prefs don't get nuked every time package
is upgraded), but we don't have good guidelines on what specific kinds
of files to tag this way. If you "purge" instead of "remove" a
package, the ConfFiles get deleted also.
