GNU implementation of commands usually aren't fully
POSIX compliant, and some scripts used to depend on that.
My impression has been that the final '/' handling is one of those
things that usually breaks on *BSD but works on GNU systems.
This is a pretty large change in behavior on the side of coreutils,
which is different from the last released stable Debian version.
