Installed.

Creation of a backup file is not a problem, because backups are created
on saving.  Visiting a file from a zip archive doesn't save it, and
thus doesn't create a backup.  But when the user explicitly saves
a file inside a zip archive, only then it should modify the time
of its directory.
