Thanks Torsten! I wonder if there's a useful way of marking the transition, such as committing a version of Alien with an author stamp such as PackageDecomposed...

Maybe commit another Alien package with no code in it all all (all items removed), with a pre-script that explicitly loads the other packages first?

Except the other ones are also linked under Alien. Hmm.
