update-apt-xapian-index now barfs on this upercase package too.
I agree the package was likely built on a Debian-less system with "ar + tar"
and without lintian.
It looks like in some cases the package name is converted to lowercase
and in other cases not.
Reading en.diff_Index translations from
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.be.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_i18n_Translation-en.diff_Index:
done.
