This is what the latest debian package does:
# bash completion
install -d -m0755 '$(GIT)'/usr/share/bash-completion/completions
install -m0644 contrib/completion/git-completion.bash \
'$(GIT)'/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git
ln -s git '$(GIT)'/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gitk

It is not blind, it is the location bash-completion uses *by default*,
and it's what most (all?) distributions use.

Which major distros do not ship with the pkg-config? It is part of
bash-completion (as it should be part of every decent shared softare
component), they all ship it.
Do you want me to go on a hunt and list all the distrubionts that ship
both?
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git
/usr/share/pkgconfig/bash-completion.pc
How many distributions would it take for you to accept the facts?

They all gree.

You are wrong.
