Comment (by raimue):

 As a side note, you can still test scripts with `/bin/bash` regardless of
 the bash version you use as interactive shell. You are not forced to keep
 using bash 3.2 for this reason.

 bash-completion 1.3 is old and unmaintained. I see that it might be useful
 for some, therefore I am happy to apply a patch to provide a subport such
 as `bash-completion-legacy` or `bash32-completion`. However, personally I
 see no point in providing ports without an upstream source that is
 actively working on bugfixes and improvements and will not work on this.
