Please note that the GNU Coding Standards recommend to use the
"file name" term here instead:
--cut: https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html --
Please do not use the term "pathname" that is used in Unix
documentation; use "file name" (two words) instead. We use the term
"path" only for search paths, which are lists of directory names.
--cut: https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html --
(The last component of a file name — that is, a file name
without the leading directories — could then presumably be
called "base name.")

I don't seem to understand. Shouldn't it be the other way
around?
But overall, I doubt that this change is necessary. If the
package is being upgraded, the chances are that this defect was
already corrected by the user. And for the new installations,
wasn't this issue already fixed?
