That's not feasible, as the -x part of the number is the installer
build number and is unrelated to the build of the binaries. We
regularly rebuild the installers to fix minor issues without
rebuilding the binaries.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. We ship the symbols in the
package, so why did you have to go looking for an old version to debug
an issue?
