Description
My issue
When hosting private feed, cannot find installed software.
I need confirmation from winget team. Do we currently support to keep custom id and custom version from private feed?
Steps to reproduce
hosting a private feed
winget source add --name PrivateFeed **** -t Microsoft.Rest
change package identifier and version of software, install the software
winget install new_package_identifer -v new_version --source PrivateFeed
use 'list' command to find the installed software
winget list --source PrivateFeed
Expected behavior
Can find the installed software with new_package_identifer and new_version
Actual behavior
Cannot find the installed software with new_package_identifer and new_version
Environment
Windows Package Manager v1.2.10271

Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.19042.1526
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.17.10271.0

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the listed private-feed commands and the Windows Package Manager version from the report. Trace how winget install records the custom identifier and version, then compare that metadata with what winget list --source PrivateFeed searches. Done means the installed package is discoverable using the custom identifier and version, with a regression test covering the behavior.
