The spec file provided by the author of bash-completion, Ian Macdonald, uses this path:

	http://www.caliban.org/files/redhat/SPECS/bash-completion.spec

As does the Fedora Project (including EPEL):

	http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/bash-completion/F-13/bash-completion.spec?view=markup

	http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/bash-completion/EL-5/bash-completion.spec?view=markup

OpenSUSE 11 does not appear to ship bash-completion:

	http://en.opensuse.org/Package_List/11.2/DVD9

But OpenSUSE 10.3 used the same path:

	http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/opensuse/bash-completion.html

Mandriva uses the same path:

	http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/bash-completion/current/SPECS/bash-completion.spec?view=markup

That's all the definitive information I can find at the moment.
