Description
Looking at this code:
I fear that boot.log (often very verbose) and the other files in FILES are logged twice, for SLE<16 at least: am I wrong? Is it intentional?

Research direction
Start at bin/supportconfig lines 717-722 and trace how FILES and boot.log are collected for SLE<16. Compare the generated support output to confirm whether those files appear twice, then check nearby collection logic for the intended behavior. Done means the duplication is explained and, if unintended, covered by a focused regression check.
