Comment (by bonefish):
I think 2a) would be the most elegant and consistent solution, but indeed
it would be the most complex to implement and the one with the most
overhead.
The reasoning for 2b) is that directories usually don't have attributes
(except BEOS:TYPE), so that for special cases where attributes are
associated with a directory, there would be only one package providing
those anyway. The advantage of this approach is that no external
assistance (i.e. explicit marking) would be needed.
Which is the main downside of 2c). Since the marker is actually packaging
meta information, using a BFS attribute would be rather inelegant. More
appropriately it should be a package attribute, which raises the question
of how to specify it. That aside, in packagefs itself this would be the
simplest change.
Approach 1) would indeed just defer the problem. An icon or the attributes
for name localization are other cases I can think of.
So, I guess 2c) is the approach to go for.
