New description:

 When I modified a package and restored it, it destroyed everything in my
 repository other than what was in the package.  This is because the
 package modification utility adds DeleteResoure calls to all resources
 (including folders) in the output package when it saves.  This is
 undesirable behaviour in many cases.

Comment:

 I thought I was going nuts, because the checkbox is actually TO delete
 folders, and the default is not to delete.

 But I remember I had been playing around with modifying the package.  The
 package modifier appears to throw in the DeleteResource operations by
 default.

 I'm going to update the ticket title and description to match.
