If you are missing a package then sending out a new setup.ini which
includes the missing package should fix the problem.  I don't see how
being able to specify something other than setup.ini helps.

Btw, I'm not looking for votes.  I'm looking for explanations for why
this option is useful.  It seems like the described functionality could
be handled with just a shell script wrapper.
