They are not "stale packs", but temporary files that wanted to
become pack but did not succeed. Perhaps "stale temporary

Shouldn't we do something similar to objects/pack/pack-*.temp
files and objects/??/*.temp that http walker leaves?
Instead, I think http walker should be made to use the same location and
filename pattern for its temporary files as the rest of the code.
I concur. That's much cleaner.
