Yes.  On redirect, apt signals the item as done, however, updates the
uri and queues the same item again.  As apt-get does not duplicate
lines here, an interested party may like to compare:
- apt/cmdline/acqprogress.cc
with:
- aptitude/src/generic/apt/download_signal_log.cc
- aptitude/src/download_list.cc

Resolving this may also resolve the other “displays duplicate download
items” issues reported against aptitude.  Though that should be
confirmed separately, so I don't merge them yet.
