Yes, because the P* variables aren't set that early.

I'm not sure this particular technique is a good idea, because there are
other consequences of an ABI version bump; the first of which is that
other .hint files for that package must be adjusted. Your method could
easily cause one to miss those changes, which would lead to broken
installations.
That being said, I'll think about this further.
