Sorry for failing to be inspired or inspiring or whatever it was you were expecting. Two proposals shot down, here's the third: Leave everything as is at the upload side, but add two cleanup passes on the release directory; a first that deletes zero-sized files and a second that removes empty directories. That way a maintainer can "upload" a file that he wants to be deleted. Then upset will see the cleaned up release directory and setup.ini won't have to specify tzhe exact versions of files most of the time.
