Hi :)

That’s true :-).

So I throw another name into the ring: „Package.versions“.

I think the file should be named after what it contains: the versions of all dependencies.
This is used to get reproducible builds by always using the same pinned version.
But that is how the file is _used_, not what the file _is_.
