Unnecessary 2nd download of staged macos installer

[miq...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am testing a staged Ventura installation via MSC.

There is an unnecessary downloading of installer dmg happening, at least with my pkginfo.
If user cancels the update when it has been staged and then re-installs the upgrade munki downloads the installer-dmg again, even if the Install macOS Ventura.app is already in its place defined in the pkginfo.
I am using it as OnDemand and the installer is copied to /tmp/.
What may be causing this unnecessary download, is it OnDemand or non-standard location at /tmp? Or maybe the staged function skips the check if item is already there? 

Here is my pkginfo:

An OnDemand item does not check installation state, so I would expect it to re-download the irem every time.

A stage_os_installer item doesn’t know anything about an installer staged in /tmp. It is expecting the installer to be in /Applications.
