Paul mentioned this on "InstallAPackage":

> A package is a configuration of components. There is a "packages" 
> service where you can install, uninstall, create, and modify packages. 
> Packaging capabilities enable you to install components with a minimum 
> of effort, as well as uninstall and redistribute changes to packages. 
> Packaging is designed to finally make easy component reuse a reality.

I don't think this helps Paul out right now, but "package" is a
confusing name for this, given package is used (at the very least
in the distutils vernacular) to refer to a pure Python package, a
directory filled with .py's.
