There's no issues with:

DESTDIR will always end in '/' right?


All the *DIR variables which are installation directories must be
absolute paths.
This is now checked by the script.

DESTDIR might be $HOME for example. It would be /home/matt/usr/local/bin
for the bin directory.
In the help text we had a '/' for clarity, I suppose.

Usually DESTDIR is empty (no trailing slash in that case).  Whatever
follows it should of course be an absolute path.

ymmm
