This is potentially irrelevant, as it depends on 1) keeping any of the current unpacking code features (theme install, plugin install)[1] and 2) keeping the implementation as it is and not replacing it with Zip_Archive or similar.
 1. I've been toying with the idea of forcing such things to be done by FTP anyway rather than getting into the quagmire of permissions etc.

It's still relevant for theme unpacking but I did test my plugin unpacking code with packages that were known to be broken with the old code so this isn't exactly a relevant bug but it can't go away just yet.

Mind you I'm still not clear on what of the theme stuff we're going to leave in.
