Package: dh-linktree
Version: 0.2
Severity: normal

every time I try to use dh_linktree (a tool that I very much missed up
now, thanks for providing it) I struggle with how to use it correctly.
It does not give very good error messages.
My most common mistake is a trailing slash in the arguments, e.g.:

dh_linktree -pipython-notebook-common embed
usr/share/javascript/jquery-ui/themes/
usr/share/ipython/notebook/static/jquery/css/themes

which results in dpkg --search arguments that look like this:
dpkg --search --
/usr/share/javascript/jquery-ui/themes//base/images/ui-bg_flat_0_aaaaaa_40x100.png
which fails

it is very hard to see that the double slash here: themes//base
causes dpkg --search to fail.

maybe dh_linktree should strip trailing slashes or at least document
this it in the manpage.
