that it's a special case that needs fixing.  I fail to see how "...//" can
ever be intended behaviour in the way you're suggesting it.  :)

All of libkpathse and the search system in all programs using it
*HEAVILY* depend on // being expanded to all intermediate dirs!!
Otherwise we would not have a working TeX system at all, or you
would have to copy 20000+ files into one directory.

By default Debian $HOME does NOT have a trailing slash. I have
installed many many many Debian machines and I have never seen
a trailing slash in $HOME.

So my assumption is that you changed something on your system.

To come back to your problem. Yes, a fix in kpathsea might
be something people might be interested, but nobody has come
around to do it. And at the same time it is a feature.
