Objects residing in pack files that have an associated .keep file are not
supposed to be repacked into new pack files, but they are.


I think that's a misconception. Packfiles that are marked with .keep files
should never be deleted. There are, afaik, no rules against packing the
same objects into other packfiles as well. This is nifty for dumb ref
walkers, as they can use a small pack for incremental fetching while using
a mega-pack for initial cloning.
