you just described a standard distribution.  this is like literally
how all of them work.  not to mention every other language-specific
distro tool out there (e.g. Python pip, Perl cpan, Go, etc...).

maybe you'd like more guarantees on top (e.g. signature verification)
which is reasonable.

but to be clear, this script is already merged & in the tree, so your
feedback doesn't block this patch.
