That doesn't sound like new behavior (although I'm not certain). I don't
think that's a bug, though -- that sounds like useful functionality. The
problem isn't that setup bases its decision of what to download on what's
installed, it's that it doesn't ALSO base its decision on what's already
downloaded.
