AFAIK, there is currently no way to separate the source package from the
binary package, though, e.g.,

@ foo
version: 1.1-1
category: Mugwump
install: latest/foo/foo-1.1-1.tar.gz
category: Mugwump Source
install: latest/foo/foo-1.1-1-src.tar.gz

doesn't work, does it?

If it does, then I need to update the "setup.ini updater".
