What got me in trouble I think is I modified setup to scan the directory as well for any files we might exist that are not in setup but match packages - partly in anticipation of one day being able to put files there that do not match packages and let setup find them and install them without modifying setup.ini. This also accommodated where a previous file existed but setup did not reference a previous version. I forgot to check if the files I was getting from the scan though were src tarballs or install tarballs - I hadn't ever downloaded any source I never picked up on the resulting confusion. Thanks for the convention clarification.
