For an install (rather than an upgrade) it's not based on what you've installed on the individual machine before; when install is done the source URL is sent to ftpinstall.cgi which offers it back via ftplist.cgi for further installs from the same IP address. The mechanism for saving the full directory or not is in install.sub around line 1850.
