Package: apt-cacher
Version: 1.5.3
Severity: grave

In many instances, the Debian and Ubuntu archives have different
packages with the same name.  In the apt-cacher cache, these pairs of
packages collide with each other, resulting in corruption of one of
them:

$ wget 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gawk/gawk_3.1.5.dfsg-4_i386.deb 
-O- | md5sum -
02537b72e8ef16eee8c643bf9693d5d2  -
$ wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gawk/gawk_3.1.5.dfsg-4_i386.deb 
-O- | md5sum -
ae8f5e5fa4d35fc1dd2f1cd4f2120dd8  -
$ wget 
http://localhost/apt-cacher/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gawk/gawk_3.1.5.dfsg-4_i386.deb
 -O- | md5sum -
02537b72e8ef16eee8c643bf9693d5d2  -
$ wget 
http://localhost/apt-cacher/ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gawk/gawk_3.1.5.dfsg-4_i386.deb
 -O- | md5sum -
02537b72e8ef16eee8c643bf9693d5d2  -

(Similarly, if I clean the cache and request Debian's version first and
Ubuntu's second, I get Debian's twice.)
