If a package is listed for both -x and -P, it is reinstalled, so while

An option which explicitly just installs the source for a specified
package might be useful.
It seems that
--local-install -x "package[,...]" -P "package[,...]"
...no longer works to automate source download for packages already
installed...
Is there another workaround? (Or did I miss something obvious?)
Sorry, based on the previous discussion at [1] this seems to be broken
at the moment, due to '-x' being broken.

If you really need this, please try old setup versions from [2]. If you
discover which version it got broken in, and/or work out how to fix it,
please let us know.
