Comment(by gfxmonk):

 Thanks very much for the details, that clears things up onsiderably. Is
 there a way to explicitly generate of an "old style" db file instead of a
 folder & cache? These packages will only ever have one library per-db, and
 will be readonly - so it seems like that would be a better fit. Sorry if
 that's a little off topic for the actual bug, we can move this to the
 mailing list if you'd prefer.
