Problems with mv and trailing slashes. There were reports that during package installation, some mv commands of directories failed. One idea was that mv was allergic against trailing slashes, as this had been the case with Apple's mv and rm in the early days of MacOSX 10.0. But I have not seen any hard evidence for this. A lot of other explanations for these failures are possible. If there is such evidence, please show it on one of the lists.
I am putting trailing slashes by purpose into the DocFiles list and anywhere else where they are not generated automatically, because they give additional security. I am acutely aware of this since the time when one of my packages managed to replace /usr/bin/ by a file named /usr/bin.
