foo/../bar is *not* minor; it's a violation of a Policy should, and
therefore needs to stay important. It will actually break things, such
as symlinking of directory hierarchies to different disks.
foo//bar is a bug according to Policy, but a minor one. I can agree
with downgrading it to minor, but not lower than that.
The KDE localization packages are buggy and need to be fixed. It's a
trivial fix.
