Well, it is a feature I do not like. As I need to secify the version
*with* epoch whenever I need refer to a version (apt-get, Depends, ...)
hiding it half of the time just sucks, *IMHO*.

No, it is only included in the filenames in /var/cache/apt/archives
that have been mangled by apt. You won't find the epoch in filenames
generated by dpkg-buildpackage or on ftp.debian.org
