Would that mean that the server would do the expansion? Or the
client? If the client, then that would essentially mean an
update to the ftp: scheme, or not? The ftp client would have
to go through the hierarchy down to the point where it
expects a directory but finds a package file, then download
the package file and apply the rest of the URI path to find
the actual file. No current ftp client does that.

(Not that I like the pack: scheme, it's really ugly in many ways.)
