The dpkg cgi program works fine with apache or apache2 and I can't find
any place in the code where the redundant conversion is done.
I see that you are using boa as http server. After installing boa and
testing the script again I discovered that the redundant conversion
is done by the boa http server, as illustrated by the following tcp
traces on port 80 (apache2) and 8080 (boa):
# ngrep -d lo . tcp and port 80
interface: lo (127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0)
filter: (ip or ip6) and ( tcp and port 80 )
match: .

Note that in the second case (boa) the new location contains '%25'
instead of the '%'.
Since boa instead of apache is the only change I'm reassigning this bug
to the boa package.
