After a little experimentation, it appears that it doesn't
matter what the file is called - if there's any file in the top
level of the local directory with the format of a setup.ini
file, it gets used for determining the timestamp to put
in /etc/setup/timestamp.  But its contents thankfully don't
take precedence over the real setup.ini in the http%%... subdir.

I know we're supposed to view the local dir as a black box,
and not go mucking with it, so maybe this isn't strictly a
bug - but it's rather surprising behaviour all the same.
