It's easier.
The automake created tarball extracts into setup-0. If I use that
tarball, then when you download updates, you'll overwrite the previous
sources. Repacking them would be another step. Also see the cygwin-apps
list discussion of different packaging styles.

Noticed this too. Problem is that setup is the only(?) package
in setup.ini with only source and no binary (for obvious reasons).
The setup entry in setup.ini:
----------------------------
@ setup
sdesc: "The Cygwin Net Distribution installer and updater program."
category: System Net Utils
version: 2.218.2.9-1
source: release/setup/setup-2.218.2.9-1-src.tar.bz2 659936 9a2b1ee9d1d97208578b9535bb6018ec
----------------------------
Note: no install: line.
So Setup.exe still tries to download/install the binary which is not there,
hence the Download Incomplete messages.
Setup needs to accept that there are source only packages.
I guess Robert is already aware of this.

P.S. Why is the contents of setup-2.218.2.9-1-src.tar.bz2 only an other
tar.bz2 file ? Why not rename the original tar.bz2 file, would save
a few bytes.
