Package: bash
Version: 4.1-3
Severity: normal

It seems that the bash prompt incorrectly spells root directories like
/boot, /home etc. Other directories seem to work fine.

To reproduce:

1) Start bash. Set PS1 like this:

export PS1="\W $ "

2) Go to the folder /boot. The prompt now says:

bott $

3) Go to the folder /home. The prompt now says:

hmee $

I wasn't able to understand if this is related to the other reports about
the prompt, so I wrote a new report. Feel free to merge it if I was wrong.

Best regards
Torquil Sørensen
