But *do* we need two different variables which then are used with
exactly the same value?
Do we need the option to change the distance of the segno double bar
line?

IIRC, this is a leftover from the bar line reorganisation work, the
double
bar line "||" was formerly spaced with 'thin-kern as well, but as we
implemented the stacking algorithm for bar lines, all constituents are
now
spaced with 'kern.

I'd remove 'thin-kern entirely. In case someone wants to modify the
appearance
of the segno symbol, he can use a multiplier and create his own stencil
easily.
