I see you are optimizing for disk footprint, and this will
result in tons of tiny packs left between "repack -a".

I have not benched it yet, but the runtime pack handling code
was written assuming we have only a handful of big packs; I
suspect this change would affect the performance at runtime in
quite a bad way.
