I noticed that /root/.packages of PPM was heavily cluttered. The package database, repo lists, and installed package files are all in one place. I suggest that PPM must be revised in order to make those files reorganized in this manner for easy troubleshooting.
/root/.packages/database - for package database
/root/.packages/installed - for installed package files
/root/.packages/repo - for repo list
/root/.packages/system - for installed system packages
I hope you consider my suggestions. Thank you

I think on a vanilla install it's manageable (~19 files), but once you install a lot of pets it can get ugly, so having at least a folder for "user installed pets" (like how there's one for built-in pets) would clear that up, for sure, so I do agree with that part, having user installed pets in it's own sub-folder might make more sense. What to call this directory, user_files? I think the other things you mentioned are fine in the /root/.packages directory though and easier to find/grab if they're all in the same place.
Orgnized PPM .packages directory structure is now implemented on latest iteration of x-slacko slim. I revised also the puppy remaster script because it was heavily dependent on that path.
