Public bug reported:

[Impact]
Packages where the epoch is encoded in the filename cannot be retrieved, as we 
overlooked some places when changing the acquire system to always use % encoded 
URLs.

[Test plan]
A test is included in the comprehensive test suite.

[Where problems could occur]
Regressions could occur in places that download debs with filenames that need 
quoting or are already quoted. You can argue this also changes the API 
slightly, since ArchiveURI() now returns encoded URLs, rather than just 
appending the file path to the host. Although, this could actually improve 
things too.
