That's the whole purpose of .packlist files.
Yours is growing cause you're developing these modules? (who cares if it grows, don't tell me
you're worried about precious bytes)

And how do said packaging tools know what's what?
Secondly, any packaging tools which are not standard perl packaging tools
are not portable. .packlist files are portable.

Yes.
I like to use ExtUtils::Installed quite a lot, especially in uninstalling modules,
and it works off .packlist files, cause that's what they're for.
Every good module includes them.
