This is one of the biggest things I feel is missing from the current protocol and I'm very glad it's in v2 draft. Now when a group of related torrents are repacked into a single torrent all the swarms are complementary instead of competitive. You don't have to choose between seeding the big pack instead of the individual files, just do what you want and the whole swarm still benefits.
