Why don't you just add a symlink?

It would only need a small post operation on top of the normal release procedure, namely:

copy the new complete.zip to something like 20210610-complete.zip and then symlink complete.zip to it.
On the next release you do the same but the old zip will remain.

The packages need to pull the 20210610-complete.zip variant during building, not sure how they (automatically) would know which one is currently the newest though. Mayby a small info file like "https://www.ldraw.org/library/releaseInfo.txt"
