[Bug 1020833] [NEW] the filename /var/dpkg/info/e2fslibs.list does not match

[William]

Public bug reported:

Wile investigating package information i found that i have about 400
packages wich do not have the correct
/var/lib/dpkg/info/packagename.list. (and md5sums file)

Is there a specific reason for not naming the list file as the
packagename as shown by dpkg -l, but instead e.g. creating
/varlib/dpkg/info/e2fslibs:amd64.list?

This does not seem consistent.

I would expect that the packagename should be e2flibs:amd64 wich has a
corresponding /var/lib/dpkg/info/e2fslibs:amd64.list or on i386
e2fslibs:i386 with the corresponding name
/var/lib/dpkg/info/e2fslibs:i386.list
