Yeah, nothing prevents this from happening at the moment.
I did think that calm could do some checking of this (since it needs to
look at the files in a package to generate the data used by the 'search
package contents' web page).
But since we can't know about the contents of packages which might come
from 3rd-party package repos, I think this also needs to be a feature of
setup.
