Is it normal that I still have to put the end action into the app class
(instead of the Root controller) while using DefaultEnd?

My end action:
sub end : Private {
  my ($self, $c) = @_;
  $c->log->debug("app end action");
  $c->NEXT::end( $c );
}

If I put it into the Root controller, it is not called at all. Here's
the catalyst output for this case (end action moved into the Root
controller):

If this is the normal behaviour, it could be misleading for beginners
who see the end action stub in their generated Root controller code. At
least I was quite confused.

Thanks for your comments.
