Nothing has changed in this area since 0.5.8. Furthermore, '~' is not a reserved character in URIs (see RFC 2396), and so apt should not escape it unless it is being used in a context which requires this for other reasons. Can you be more specific about what you are seeing and in what context? -- - mdz
