Reminds me of something I've been thinking about...

What do you all think about NOT getting package names from the name of
the package file?

For example:

foo.lrp

...could have its real name being...

fooBecomesALongNameBeforeYouKnowItanditsUNSTOPPABLE!!!!

:-)  Seriously though, then you could have longer names like:

myPackage.list
myPackage.version
myPackage.help

...and pack them up into...

mypkg.lrp

...well?

My thoughts are the package name could be picked up from a file named
"var/lib/lrpkg/XXXXXX.list" instead - and if there isn't one, it won't
matter what the package name is anyway.
