I don't think that there is any utility that would let you do that. When
you're making a package, in Newton Toolkit, there is a whole family of
icons/mask, with icons for b&w and grayscale, that you must provide through
a resource file that make it into the package file. I'm not sure that the
way the icons are saved in the package is documented.

As far as renaming packages, I would think that any soup editor should be
able to do it.
