As always, i am a lucky guy and can't reproduce it. :/
(I am properly just too dumb to do it right -- "Fortune favors fools.")

I remember problems with Descriptions in case of splitout longdesc and
multiarch and rewrote parts of the description handling in experimental
a while ago, but i can't remember problems with Filename handling,
as this is pretty independent of description parsing.

Can you reproduce this just on this system or do you get it also on
other systems/in a chroot?
