Yeah, removing wpkg.xml seems to be the easiest way if you renamed your 
packages.
As you said, you will have problems with packages with no checks 
(execute once) - they will be started once again. If there are no big 
installers there, it shouldn't be a problem, though.

Another thing you could do is to do the changes in wpkg.xml.
The easiest would be if you kept this in one place (on a remote server - 
settable in config.xml).

If this file is stored locally, you may use WPKG Client and execute 
before / after to rename entries in wpkg.xml.
