So, I know my example is not a patch. It should works while apt-file doesn't 
recognise this option.

Is there anywhere a debian archive uncompress, where you could go to download 
any debian file on the debian's hierarchy ?

Sorry my poor english

apt-file-download.sh:
#!/bin/bash

FILE=$1

if [ $(apt-file search "$FILE" | tee result.txt | wc -l) -ne 1 -o $# -ne 1 ]
then
        echo "Use: apt-file download file"
        echo "You should specific a file from an uniq package"
        rm result.txt
        exit 1
fi
dir=$(mktemp -d )
mv result.txt $dir/result.txt
(cd $dir; 
aptitude download $(awk -F ":" '{print $1}' result.txt)
ar xv *deb  data.tar.gz
)

tar -O -zxf $dir/data.tar.gz ./$FILE > ${FILE##*/}
rm -rf $dir
