Given that we've already had a discussion about how tracking downloads
by filename doesn't make any sense, I'm surprised to see it here again.

The download is retrieving a file based upon its content, not its
destination path in the filesystem.  We cache downloaded files, so if
/etc/X11/foo.conf, /usr/X11/foo.conf, and /var/cache/foo.conf all have
the same content, we will download
