No, dpkg uses "<pkg>:<arch>.list" for packages which are “Multi-Arch: same”.
All the other packages use "<pkg>.list".

Since e2fsprogs is not “Multi-Arch: same”, it's perfectly correct.

Title:
  the filename /var/dpkg/info/e2fslibs.list does not match

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “e2fsprogs” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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
