I suggest you write a short proposal to rename "package" to "bundle" and 
start a new thread.

Mac OS X uses the word "bundle" for a similar purpose, although it 
doesn't reveal the word to end users AFAIK.  I found a short description 
halfway down the following page, under the heading "Bundles".

A tangent: I recall that Mac OS has an absolutely beautiful way of 
managing applications.  You can put application files anywhere you like 
and the system will still know how to find the application when you want 
to open a document created by the application.  Thus hard disk space is 
managed separately from application installation.  Neither Windows nor 
Linux has this paradigm yet.  It's really nice for desktop users.
