Bug#399622: apt-ftparchive: unable to specify pathprefix

[Yann Dirson <ydirson@altern.org>]

Package: apt-utils
Version: 0.6.46.2
Severity: important

The following lines generate a Packages file pointing to ./*.deb instead
of foo/*.deb:

$ apt-ftparchive packages . /dev/null foo
$ apt-ftparchive -o BinaryPath::PathPrefix=foo packages .

OTOH, specifying a single package instead of "." generate the expected
paths.
