Comment (by jessicah):

 I wonder if some of this could be alleviated by using node refs to the
 activated packages, such as when their entry refs change, the package kit
 doesn't need to worry, and can still work with the nodes themselves no
 matter where they moved to.

 I suppose the only downside to that is that it would hold file descriptors
 open, if I'm understanding the BNode documentation correctly... I guess
 the package kit doesn't hold files open currently, hence leading to the
 behaviour we currently have?
