One possible way goes something like this:
* Add CompressionArchives and CompressionStream packages corresponding
to the hyphenated system categories
* Push a new config map with the "new" packages
* Push the empty Compression package
* Remove the Compression package using a config map
* Rename CompressionArchives to Compression-Archives and same for Stream
* Push a third config map removing Compression and adding
Compression-Archives and Compression-Stream
