Thanks Hartmut, that would be awesome. There is some code in
package_index.py that attempts to handle it but maybe the issue is other
(btw the "Yuck" is not mine!):

def egg_info_for_url(url):
    scheme, server, path, parameters, query, fragment =
urlparse.urlparse(url)
    base = urllib2.unquote(path.split('/')[-1])
    if server=='sourceforge.net' and base=='download':    # XXX Yuck
        base = urllib2.unquote(path.split('/')[-2])
    if '#' in base: base, fragment = base.split('#',1)
    return base,fragment
