For some reason I started playing with EA again (poor me). I remember having looked at Packaging components and thought "how weird". Now, for my Python it seemed that putting classes into it of a file forming a Python package would be a good use - I thought. Now, these partially behave and look like a package. And I noticed that some of them appar as normal package icon in the browser while others look like a component. It's also not possible to alter a package into a package comonent (via the Type ellipsis). This concept has been around for some time but still the banana did not get ripe.
I will just foget about that scrap and use normal component elements. Just little work now...

I feel that the UML group would use the "streaker's defence"[1] when describing Packaging Components these days. In my view, they're a waste of time and energy (as you, also, have found).
Has ANYBODY on the forum used them successfully? How? Why?
HTH,
