Comment (by waddlesplash):

There are no method for creating BFS image from folder including
 automatic size detection.

 Then we should make one, it should not be that hard to do, in fact. Again,
 packagefs are really not designed for this usecase, nor do we want to use
 it for this usecase.

Making non-compressed HPKG is much faster than copying files to
 different BFS volume.

 Only when the file cache is used I think; probably mounting a volume with
 the cache disabled is as fast as your I/O can make it.
