It is still dubious for me.
Setup was able to fetch it from the server during 'Download only' with
version number '1'. But when doing an install from local directory it
wasn't offered anymore in the chooser.
IIRC Setup is able to install packages even if there is no version in
the name string (e.g. foo.tar.gz).
