And I don't want epochs to exist. And I want all filesystems to support
":" in filenames. And I want a million dollars and world peace – but the
world doesn't work that way.
apt needs to save the file with an epoch to know the difference between
version 1 and version 1:1. And it has to store it encoded to support
filesystems which can't deal with ":" in filenames. We are not breaking
apt to make you not have to look at epochs, sorry pal.
Oh, and reinstalls can be done with "apt install --reinstall $pkg".
