I don't think it has anything to do with custom subclasses; I think it has
to do (at least indirectly) with the SARBuilder.

When you file out a DVS package from the PackagePanel, the last chunk in
the file looks like

Smalltalk at: #FilePackageManager
  ifPresent: [:p | p registerPackage: 'SomePackage'].!

This is what causes the package to show up in the PackagePanel when it's
filed in.

The Connectors.st file doesn't have this chunk.  I assume this is because
SARBuilder uses the simple PackageInfo>>fileOut instead of DVS (I seem
to remember this came up before when class comments weren't getting
included in SARs).

One solution would be to just append a similar chunk to the .st file when
building a SAR.
