Actually:
jak@jak-x230:~/Downloads$ ls *.deb
AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb debhelper_9.20160115ubuntu3_all.deb
jak@jak-x230:~/Downloads$ _filedir "deb"
jak@jak-x230:~/Downloads$ echo $_
deb
jak@jak-x230:~/Downloads$ _filedir "*.deb"
jak@jak-x230:~/Downloads$ echo $_
AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb debhelper_9.20160115ubuntu3_all.deb
So, it seems you are wrong.
