Well, since a project has more than a package (e.g. session and macro
values) it would be more "a project is a package".

Thanks. Applied.

The "most users" argument is seldom good.
There are basically two groups of users. Those who want a fresh IDE
when starting and those who want to continue where they stopped working.
I don't think we need another option. Keep it simple and stupid and
change "Open last project on start" to "Open last project and packages
at start".
When project groups arrive this option will probably become "Open last
project, groups and packages at start."
