The only officially supported version at any one point is the latest
patch release (eg 2.2.1) for a particular minor version (eg 2.2), so
it makes sense to only have a file including the latest one. More
details on CKAN releases can be found here:

Perhaps checking if the md5 sum has changed? It would involve similar
work to check for the file name as you were suggesting.
