Public bug reported:

upstream bug https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/8739

Although uncommon and probably unwise, linux filenames can end in slash.
uutils-coreutils appears to wrongfull intrepret those as directories and fails 
copying.

This currently breaks tests some lintian tests.

repro:

# cp -V
cp (uutils coreutils) 0.2.2
# mkdir a
# touch a/foo\\
# cp -r a b
cp: 'b/foo\' is not a directory
# ls -la b
total 1
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2 Sep 24 23:07 .
drwx------ 6 root root 9 Sep 24 23:07 ..
