After continuing the boot, Becasso is still installed. It's still listed in

'/boot/system/packages'.

So, it seems I'm still booted in the 5th Dec state...

No, these files are not changed when booting into a different state;
instead, the activated-packages file from the "state" directory is
loaded, as are any required packages from there. You can make sure of
this by validating that Becasso does not appear in /system/apps.

I see. Still, as I said, Becasso is still installed (in /system/apps/Becasso)...

When get HPKGs put into a "state" folder? I think on uninstall (or when they 
get replaced by a newer version), 
right?

Humdinger
