Right, but for those users that actually remove their old BEs, this would

What operations are those? I don't think we ever look at package versions
that aren't installed. We certainly don't need to.
See image:gen_installed_pkg_names(), image:update_installed_pkgs().
They use os.listdir to walk $META/pkg/* looking for the "installed" file.
Admittedly, that seems to only happen if the /var/pkg/state/installed
directory is missing, inaccessible, or needs to be re-generated, but...
