  doesn't handle apt://package/ (ending slash)

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Firstly sorry for my english, as i'm french and student I'm definitly not a good speaker (and writer),
  I'm using chrome and chromium on ubuntu and when I change my apt:// link  handler from software-center to apturl via this xdg command "xdg-mime default apturl.desktop x-scheme-handler/apt" when i test it on any apt:// link on chrome or chromium, it shows an error (partially traduced in french which i wrote for u in english) :

  "invalid url apt://gimp/
  invalid package name gimp/"

  I believe there is something with the ending slash which let the
  program crash.

  I've found after some tries a temporary fix. I've modified my
  /usr/bin/apturl file and i've changed this line : "elif [ -x /usr/bin
  /apturl-gtk ]; then   apturl-gtk $@" to "elif [ -x /usr/bin/apturl-gtk
  ]; then   apturl-gtk ${@%/}" so that it removes the ending slash.

  Don't know if you should use my own fix or if you should let the
  program accept an ending slash,

  Regards,

  Florian
