If I saw "pack-file" (outside of this discussion) I would think it was
wrong. That's just my opinion, of course.
Searching for "packfile" on the list yields 2145 messages. Searching for
"pack-file" yields 764. Searching for "pack file" yields 2007 (maybe
more, as my grep did not take into account line breaks).
