Consider the cached file /var/cache/apt-cacher/packages/zip_2.32-1_amd64.deb which is present in an existing cache and also present in both Debian and Ubuntu distros (different files, but same name). There is no 'long filename' file, so you try to fallback on the short-filename. But, would you return it for a request for ftp.uk.debian.org/pool/main/z/zip_2.32-1_amd64.deb or for mirror.ubuntu.com/pool/main/z/zip_2.32-1_amd64.deb I don't think there is anyway to know, but 1 could be wrong.
