[Python-modules-team] Bug#895338: awscli: zsh completion doesn't work as expected

[Shengjing Zhu]

Package: awscli
Version: 1.14.44-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

This package ships /usr/share/zsh/vendor-completions/_awscli which I
expect it to work like other files in zsh/vendor-completions.

For example, I should have `aws` completion if I just called `compinit`
in my zshrc.

But I still need to `source /usr/share/zsh/vendor-completions/_awscli`
to get the completion working.

Maybe you can't call `bashcompinit` in files under
zsh/vendor-completions?

So I think _awscli file is not in a proper position.

I find oh-my-zsh has a awscli plugin, but it expects
aws_zsh_completer.sh in $PATH.
https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/blob/62b8a70a7c5d0c939d8dabfef48796a092d1a55f/plugins/aws/aws.plugin.zsh#L48

Should the upstream aws_zsh_completer.sh not be renamed to _awscli?
