Multiple filenames? Policy? Binary packages do not have filename fields at all. I'm talking about Filename fields in the Packages file in an archive. I'm not talking about S3 at all.
dpkg-deb only generates the last component of a filename, the problem as I encountered it concerned a repo with spaces in some directory names. At the same time, there is no requirement that the package filename last component be in the same style as dpkg-deb generates, though that's not a concern here. Debian Policy doesn't address Packages files at all, nor archive layout.
