That's absolutely the way to go.

Just from gut feeling:  It looks as if

   /usr/share/bash-completion/completions

would be sufficient to simply install all bash-completions.

I realised that the current debian/s390-tools.install lists all those
manpages.  I wonder whether this should not be rather in
   debian/s390-tools.manpages
where you simply list

  /usr/share/man/man1/*
  /usr/share/man/man8/*

This sounds way more simple and most probably safe for future new
upstream versions which might need less packaging code changes.

Similar as above I would tend to

  /usr/share/zsh/site-functions

That's perfectly fine.

Pushing your changes would be helpful. ;-)

You are perfectly welcome
