Is 2-arg Pkg.add broken then? You should be able to do Pkg.add, then
Pkg.pin to a specific version. Though if we're trying to support combining
this into a single step with 2-arg Pkg.add and that isn't working, we
should probably figure out why and try to fix it. For packages that run
code at install-time in deps/build.jl you might get different results from
the 2-step version with Pkg.pin vs a 1-step version.
