you have to remove the package (which is a find on files which names
start with the packagename) and rebuild the index:

find /var/lib/debarchiver -name "packagename*"  | xargs rm
debarchive --scanall

This solution has assumes that packagename is sane (e.g. contains no
spaces - which is not valid for a packagename), and I only verified it
with a very small local debarchiver archive (I also have a local
debarchiver repository). I found this in a (german) howto for the
debarchiver:
