Automatic might be contingent on using the correct browser?? I have never found
the MC browser to be particularly deterministic, but it *does* work once one
plays by the rules:
(1) a class category/package name is case sensitive.
(2) method categories, (ab)used to package loose methods, begin with *, and are
NOT
case-sensitive.
(3) when in doubt, delete the working copy and create another package
(4) completely ignore the above, as I have no idea what I am talking about
Ok, (4) is over-stating the situation, but I gladly yield to those knowing more
about it. FWIW, I have completely given up on expecting packages to appear in
the MC browser unless I explicitly create them.

I am a little confused reading Pharo by example...

In the tutorial they ask you to create a package (with the same name
PBE-LightsOut) in the Monticello Browser.
I guess they do it on the assumption that you've just "filed in" the *.st files
with the LOGame so Monticello will figure out that those imported classes were
unpackaged and put them in the package (I assume) based on the category
specified in the class definitions (correct me if I am wrong).
What's the scenario when we need to create a package from Monticello (I think
most of the time we do it from class browser or import a new repository which
will create package names automatically)?
Can the name of the package created in Monticello collide with the existing
package or it'll be merged with the existing package based on the category?
