This has a lot of internal changes, so could use some wider testing.
Please test.
I've just discovered a serious bug. When installing from a local
directory that either doesn't exist or isn't a valid repository, setup
doesn't correctly read/write the installed file database
(/etc/setup/installed.db).
Until we get this fixed, please backup installed.db before running setup
(or just don't proceed with the installation if setup doesn't correctly
show your installed packages).
