Thanks for the suggestion, but rather than adding an option,
how about wrapping a small script around du?
Use du's --zero (-0) option to make it work even with
names containing newline:
mkdir j && cd j && touch a b && mkdir d d2 &&
du -a -0|perl -0 -ne \
'chomp; /^\d+\t(.*)/ and print "$_", (-d $1 ? "/" : ""), "\n"'
0 ./d2/
0 ./d/
0 ./b
0 ./a
0 ./
Of course, that will convert "/" to "//", but it's just a one-liner, too.
I'm sure you can adapt.
