No regression. The quick hack we can try for now is parsing the URI we get and then encoding the local part. This is what I'm aiming for this month and it will fix this issue.

The correct fix requires restructuring the whole acquire system to not decode URIs in redirect requests and encode given URIs before sending the request. Since APT is freezing down for Debian stretch soon, that's likely not going to happen anytime soon (that targets apt 1.5, so 17.10 or 18.04).
