After I installed JDK 6 latest promoted build (b60), I found in the private jre lib directory, couple *.pack files are left (same as lib/ext directory). These files are not needed after unpack is done during JDK installation and should be removed.
One problem it might cause is the sun.misc.Launcher code will scan all the files in lib/ext directory and try to construct the jar loader objects for each file in the directory. When it sees the pack file, it will try to open it and think it is a zip file, but obviously, it will finally fail. This is totally unnecessary step.
So I would suggest to remove any reminants of these files.
