This is correct.

If a package is listed for both -x and -P, it is reinstalled, so while 
not ideal, you might be able to achieve something like what you want 
with 'setup -I -x "package1,package2,package3" -P 
"package1,package2,package3"'

An option which explicitly just installs the source for a specified 
package might be useful.
