Hi Dominik,
better late feedback than no feedback at all.
Let me comment on your points

IMHO not if one explicitly sets the packageType to 'mixed'

That is implicitly done by setting the packageType to 'mixed'.
But maybe I just don't understand correctly. I would help a lot to discuss on a 
concrete example. Can you share one which is no longer working?

There was a question just raised today on what a container is supposed to 
support. According to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCRVLT-170 
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCRVLT-170> neither nested container 
packages nor content packages.
What exactly do you propose? Can you formulate your proposal in a dedicated 
JIRA ticket for FileVault?

With 'mixed' this is already the case IMHO, other changes might need further 
refactorings....

Not necessarily. Even the OSGi installer can deal with container packages 
containing both app subpackages and bundles/configs.

What exactly is wrong about 'mixed'?

Container packages allow exactly that IMHO
