Most of this thread is predicated on accepting this definition.
Unfortunately, it is excessively restricted, and should be rephrased
One way of delivering a software component is to use a single file
archive consisting of all files delivered on target system, scripts
helping it deployment (and uninstallation if required) and any other
usable metadata.
We understand that we will need one or more marshallable file formats
for pkg(5) and that certain kinds of deployment are adversely impacted
by their absence. Such formats will be created during the course of
the project, but are not presently a priority.
