I deleted the offending package with a view to re-submitting it later.
I have been discussing with Lex the possibility of relaxing the "editorial policy" on the development universe so that anyone who has contributed a package can update other packages, so that the universe can be socially policed.
Any thoughts or votes from users of the 'development' universe?

p.s. Installer now supports package universes including the #answer:with: idiom for interaction free loading.
Installer universe answer: '*some dialog text* with: 'my answer'; install: 'a package'; install: 'b package(1.2.3)'; install.
