Yes. You would have to use the pack mtime. But of course you would have
to actually _leave_ them in a pack, or they would just keep getting
added to the new pack.

I had the impression that unreachable objects would not be packed. Maybe it
was more of an assumption.

Look in builtin-pack-objects.c:1981-1982. We basically just say "if it's
in a pack now, then it should go into the new pack."
