Description

It would be really handy to have this. We had the following `postinst` script, but it doesn't work for unknown reasons:

```bash
#!/bin/bash
set -e
source <(life --bash-completion-script `which life`)
life --help
```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the shown postinst script during installation and inspect how the PPA package invokes it. Investigate why sourcing `life --bash-completion-script` fails, then verify that a fresh install enables auto-completion without manual setup.
