This buildpack currently doesn't validate whether it supports the current $STACK.
This means if someone pins to an old SHA of the buildpack or forks the buildpack, then later a new stack is introduced, they get an error like cp: cannot stat 'bin/nginx-heroku-18': No such file or directory (in the case of older releases), or more recently they'd get a tar error.
Whilst nothing can be done about older releases now, it would be good to add an explicit stack check to make this failure mode more obvious in the future :-)
