Seems like an answer might be to have a "check-retired" command. When packages are removed from the repo, they are moved to an area where the retired packages live. Meta-data is built from that directory so there are no typos.
They are moved to an area where retired packages live? So the master repository server could never actually fully delete the last version of a particular package?
I guess theoretically you could just keep the metadata.
