Hi Josef,
From http://www.gdal.org/drv_geopackage.html
"The core GeoPackage specification does not currently support
non-spatial tables, but starting with GDAL 2.0, the driver allows
creating and reading such tables via the Aspatial Support
(gdal_aspatial) extension. Note: starting with GDAL 2.2, the driver will
also, by default, list non spatial tables that are not registered
through the gdal_aspatial extension."
So with newer GDAL versions it is possible to create and read
non-spatial tables.

Here is just a reminder from a user/plugin maintainer, please ignore
if not relevant.
If the spatialite data provider is to be removed then we will have to
update some plugins to reflect that which is ok, not a big deal. But
it is important that the current features of the spatialite data
provider are included into the OGR provider before changing.
E.g. we are using the spatalite data provider in plugins to add
non-spatial spatialite tables. I could not achieve this by using the
OGR provider (although it was a couple of years ago I was looking into
this and it may have changed by now).

I'm wondering what the future of the spatialite provider
should be. I
find it odd that spatialite layers utilise the dedicated
spatialite
provider, but geopackage layers use the OGR provider.
I think there's potential value in removing the spatialite
provider
and always reading these layers via OGR.
