+\subsection{Path variables and trailing slash}
+\label{sec:trailing-slash}
+
+Unless specified otherwise, the paths provided through package manager variables do not end with
+a trailing slash and can not be empty. A few exceptions to that rule are listed
+in table~\ref{tab:trailing-slash} along with applicable EAPIs.
+
+For EAPIs where those variables are defined to always end with a trailing slash, the package manager
+guarantees that a trailing slash will always be appended to the path in question. If the path
+specifies the system root directory, it will consist of a single slash (\t{/}).
+
+\featurelabel{trailing-slash} For EAPIs where those variables are defined to never end with
+a trailing slash, the package manager guarantees that a trailing slash will never be present.
+If the path specifies the system root directory, it will be empty.
