Are two copies of bootstrap.css supposed to be generated by Compass when using bootstrap-sass?

I am trying to set up a ruby web project using sinatra (1.4.5), slim (2.0.3), sass (3.4.0) and bootstrap-sass (3.2.0.1) gems.

Since I am using Sass, I decided to try out the compass (1.0.1) gem to automatically generate .css from my .scss files.

I followed directions on the bootstrap-sass github page to use with compass, namely:

compass create my-new-project -r bootstrap-sass --using bootstrap

However, I noticed that this always generates 2 copies of bootstrap.css (which git diff tells me are the same except for file paths since they are in different directories):

... (other files/directories get made and written)
directory my-new-project/stylesheets/bootstrap
    write my-new-project/stylesheets/bootstrap/bootstrap.css
directory my-new-project/stylesheets/bootstrap/bootstrap
    write my-new-project/stylesheets/bootstrap/bootstrap/bootstrap.css

Is this the intended behavior of this installation? If so, why are 2 copies of bootstrap.css desirable? If not, how can I get compass to stop generating 2 copies?

Apparently this is being worked on in Unnecessary file in assets git issue and pull request. It should no longer be an issue in the next release of the bootstrap-sass gem, as glebm mentions in the pull request.

As described in the pull request mentioned above, a simple fix to this annoyance is simply removing assets/stylesheets/bootstrap/bootstrap.scss within the bootstrap-sass gem.
