I suspect that would break the database, which, because it's now SQL,
would matter a lot more than before. What you can do is
tar -xf $pkg +MANIFEST
vi ./+MANIFEST
tar -cf nomanifest --exclude +MANIFEST @$pkg
tar -cJf $newpkg +MANIFEST @nomanifest
This isn't exactly easy, but I'm not sure this is something which should
be easy.
