Meson and Buildroot

[Iñigo Martínez]

Hi,

I wasn't aware that `bash-completion` also implied `bash` installation. It
can be easily be made optional[0][1].

I have provided a MR that handles this issue, taking also in account the
change in `bash-completion` 2.10.

Thank you for notifying the issue Yegor,
