Title:
  packages deb filename is not consistant

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  there are hundreds of packages where the local filename and remote filenames do not match
  here are 2 examples

  REMOTE
  # apt-cache show acpid | grep "Filename"
  Filename: pool/main/a/acpid/acpid_2.0.23-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

  LOCAL
  # ls -al /var/cache/apt/archives/acpid*
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36266 Dec  3 07:05 /var/cache/apt/archives/acpid_1%3a2.0.23-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

  REMOTE
  # apt-cache show compiz | grep "Filename"
  Filename: pool/main/c/compiz/compiz_0.9.12.2+16.04.20151026-0ubuntu1_all.deb

  LOCAL
  # ls -al /var/cache/apt/archives/compiz*
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root    3864 Nov  3 04:39 /var/cache/apt/archives/compiz_1%3a0.9.12.2+16.04.20151026-0ubuntu1_all.deb

  I think after these 2 examples you start to get the idea
