I'd vote for "Superpackager". You could read an ironic connection to
"Superman" from that term, which is certainly more fun than one to the
"Übermensch".

Also, "Ultra" means "beyond" while "Super" means "above", IIRC. Super
hence appears more appropriate to me here, and less extreme. But
that's just me.
