I changed that now on sourceware, but please keep in mind that this
doesn't solve all problems.  Assuming you update a few packages and then
start setup again and install some more packages, then the version
number of the _autorebase package hasn't changed and it won't be started
by the second setup run.  Only if a package gets updated which comes
with DLLs, the _autorebase version number is bumped on the server and
only then it will be started by setup anew.  Same thing for
_update-info-dir, but with minor consequences.

In theory, we could need a solution which is built into setup, and which
makes setup re-run the _autorebase script every time a package with DLLs
is updated or installed.  Analog for _update-info-dir.  The dependency
thingy is fine in upset, but the logic needs some support on the client
side it seems.

I would not be too unhappy if somebody would like to take a stab at
setup's code for this...
