So is pkt_stream_replace_half() and other routines that eventually call
pkt_stream_generate() and overwrite the pkt_stream, right?

It just feels odd to have a special treatment in one function and other
are left as-is just because currently we don't have another abusive test
case.

Maybe it's enough of bike-shedding here, just wanted to clarify on my POV.

In the end don't get me wrong here, this interface is a bit PITA for me
and thanks for whole effort!
