thats how it works currently, it will change when wu10 comes out from my understanding
“A new package ordering system is also available on PC via the Experimental option menu in game.”

they also discussed this on 1 of the Dev Videos (quote “doing away with the content.xml”), i currently have No content.xml in my installation, if you delete it in beta it stays gone (unlike previously where it was recreated automatically)
i have no idea if it will still ‘overwrite’ the ‘ingame’ data (or w/e it is) or not, but i am fairly sure it IS changing how its used (or not being used?)
Hope that helps
