Not a bug, just a frequently asked question :)

Yes it is.
Sometimes you want to list what's *in* a directory.
Sometimes you just want to list the directory itself,
so that you can see the owner and permissions on the
directory.
Try this:
ls -l /usr/local
ls -ld /usr/local
and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks for you kind wording of your question.
FYI, you can search http://groups.google.com/
for previous postings of many future questions
you'll have. I do it all the time.
(Your question came up a few days ago here)
Cheers,
Matthew
