IMHO this is not good. It results in a "virt-admin" completion
file that installs completions for "virsh", and vica-verca.
If we're going to separate them, then do it properly in the
source build, not the RPM.
The current situation is exactly as you describe: the bash completion
file for both virsh and virt-admin also defines completion rules for
the other command, regardless of whether it's actually installed, so
this change wouldn't make the situation any worse.
But you're right, if we're touching it anyway might as well try to
make it better :)
