I was not talking about any loss.  The result would be a funny mixture of
permutations of {old-,}pack-*.{pack,idx} the user needs to match up after
figuring out what corresponds with what other one, and I think an expert
who is asked for help would have hard time matching them up too, even
though that is what you suggested in the message.

That troubled me and I was wondering if we can make the recovery simpler
for the users.
