I'm sure whatever you choose to do is perfectly fine for your needs, but objecting to parameter substitution as being more complicated than piping to head and then cut is silly. It's simple pattern substitution like you do with sed in the rest of the book. If you really mean that it makes the script less readable, then sure, possibly. But then your goal is readability and not necessarily simplicity. At that rate, I'd suggest you add some comments to the script and/or separate out individual package sections with some white space.
