I think tomcat is behaving correctly...
You may have missed out an important fact about URLs... check out
http://www.w3.org/Addressing/rfc1630.txt
"Universal Resource Identifiers in WWW"
"
THE PERCENT SIGN
The percent sign ("%", ASCII 25 hex) is used as the escape
character in the encoding scheme and is never allowed for anything
else.
"
URL-escaping is different from html/sgml-escaping (e.g. % )
give that "%3a" is an escape for ":", then if something is asking for
http://oberon/apt/./g++_4%3a3.3.5-3_i386.deb
then (I think) they are really asking for
http://oberon/apt/./g++_4:3.3.5-3_i386.deb
so maybe you could "handle" a that in your tomcat webapp?
hope this indicates some directions to try...

It's not about that *I* can't load that file.
*apt-get* needs to be able to do it.
I already tried to use urlrewrite, but the filter are already too late down
the filter chain, the %3a in "...g++_4%3a3.3..." is already translated.
Furthermore the "+" signs are being translated into spaces by the rewrite
engine.
