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.
