texi2dvi used to trip over ~ in path names, so for locally building backports
we used to rename the directory that the source was extracted to, substituting
"~" by "-" before building. But I don't know if that was the reason for Dirk
to change the scheme.
It seems that this was fixed in texi2dvi upstream
