Why isn't this called virt-convert? I don't see any actually "unpacking"
going on here.
Calling it virt-pack is more a historical accident. I think renaming it
to virt-convert makes sense. It'll require some small changes in the
command line switches though, so you cna say from what format and to
what format you want to convert.
Indeed. I have some comments on that too. What I'd like to see is
something like the logic below. I may even be sending patches to do
this, if I can get some consensus.
virt-convert [-i ifmt] -o ofmt input [output]
[snip rest of example]
I think this makes alot of sense - it is definitely important to have the
command line syntax support multiple formats, even if we've only got an
impl for vmware so far.

Will the sniffing work for anything but vmware files? I rather it be
explicit in all cases unless we can infer them all.
Yes, there is magic header that lets you detect pretty much all types
of disk image file - see the 'qemu-img' comm
Ok.. then I agree that sniffing as muuch as possible woudl be great.
