Theoretically, you ignore it and put the completion in BSD/Command/.
It's not the only such conflict.

The reason there are separate directories BSD/ and Solaris/ and so on
is to permit the person doing the install on one of those systems to
include or omit only the appropriate subset of completions -- or to
permit the user to omit the irrelevant ones from $fpath, if the
installer configured with --enable-function-subdirs (the default).

In practice I'm not sure any of the distribution package maintainers 
actually take the step of removing the "irrelevant" functions from the
tree; maybe some change the default fpath in /etc/zshrc or the like.
