Hello. On all Debian (and Ubuntu) mirrors the filenames of the deb
packages do not contain the epoch information. The epoch information
is only used by the apt system to determine which package should be
considered newer than which and this information is present inside the
deb file itself. So it is not really required in the filename.
Further, seeing as the deb packages on the Debian mirrors do not
contain this epoch information, apt-get should not add this %3a1 or
such characters to the file names. I encounted problems maintaining my
local repository (of downloaded packages) due to this meaningless
behaviour of apt. Please disable this mis-behaviour of apt.
