No. "packages" has another meaning in the database context.
I am going to point out AGAIN that we have already had a debate about
this subject, not that long ago, including the name by which we should
call these things. The consensus name then was "modules" and I think
that was right.
Those who do take cognizance of previous debates are doomed to repeat them.
