I've looked at what the original code was doing (or what I think it was
doing). Besides the case that you show, it would also find a setup.ini
if the local directory was set one or two levels down (into the mirror
level or the architectire subtree level, respectively). In the latter
case, the local directory was required to have its last component the
correct architecture. I think I have cooked up a solution to do this
(not yet fully implemented nor tested), but the code would be cleaner if
the local package directory would never be at the same level where
setup.ini resides (which necessitates to extract the last path component
and check for the correct architecture).
So the question is if that was maybe an accidental feature that can be
removed? The code would become a bit cleaner. If anybody was using it
inadvertently, they just need to remove that last component form the
local package directory, so there's no loss of functionality that I can
see.
There's another accidental feature (I think) in that old code in that
you could mix two package sources at different levels like this:

and setup-x86.exe would find three setup.ini. I think that's a mistake
and I would want to truncate the search at the first level a setup.ini
has been found (in this example only the one in the local package
directory).
