I don't care so much about whether or not one- is there.

But it seems to me that it would be a LOT better if "SYSTEM" appeared
somewhere in this name.  Even to the point that PPF-SYSTEM would be
better than PACKAGE-PER-FILE...

I guess

(DEFSYSTEM foo
  :CLASS ONE-PACKAGE-PER-FILE
)

isn't terrible, but ONE-PACKAGE-PER-FILE doesn't scream "I am a subclass
of SYSTEM" to me.  Note for comparison that all of our file subtypes
have -FILE (like STATIC-FILE, JAVA-FILE, etc.).  That seems like a good
convention.
