[Help-smalltalk] gst-package without -t

Package.st (loaded by gst-package) contains the method (line 240)

    destDir: destdir installDir: instDir [
        self validateDestDir: destdir installDir: instDir.
        installDir :=
            File name: destdir, (instDir ifNil: [ self defaultInstallDir ])
    ]

with 

    defaultInstallDir [ ^Directory image ]

This does not bode well when you don't supply an installation directory
with -t:

- Directory image  will give something like  <File /usr/local/var/lib/smalltalk>
- '' , <File ...> won't work
- What's the idea of appending an absolute path to destdir,
  whatever that may be?
  
Confused,
s.
