No, unless the user takes steps to clean out the download directory (with
Michael Chase's clean_setup.pl script, for example) all previously
downloaded tarballs persist.  

Being able to installing one of those previous tarballs with setup is
another story, though.  One way that I know of is to force setup to put the
packages of interest into the Misc category.
