Okay so I take you point no problem, but I'm not running distro packages and I
still want completions.  There must be a way to package the file to at least
make it easier to achieve both our goals.

Right now I have to manually wget the file from git.o.o which isn't really okay
IMO.

Could the python package make /usr/share/doc/python-novaclient/tools and ship
it there.  That would mean that distribution packaging could just take that file
and install it in the correct and usful location AND I could just symlink it
and we both win.

Yours Tony.
