Among the above, verify-pack does not do much more than what the
normal object reading path does already these days.  Also
unpack-objects (especially with -n) omits a lot of object
integrity checks, and not very appropriate test.

We have some tests for packfiles in t/ (make test) but I would
not be surprised if we do not have enough.  Most of the existing
tests are done on loose objects the tests themselves produce
without repacking, because their focus is not about packs and
they test whatever they are interested in, assuming that the
lowest level object layer is correctly functioning.
