Not really, no.
It is intended to make a mod more compatible with others by not including entries that might have been changed by those and are in the game anyway.
And if the game is patched, your pack still carries the old vanilla entries you didn't change.
That's possible, I never got into problems with it but I've only done minor modding myself.
If you could check what was missing, I could investigate.
Or maybe I'll find the time to look into the packs myself.
Okay I get the impression you guys have problems with the TSV being added to the DB files because you don't know how to delete the existing ones?Here is a pack I made with the tables empty. In this way you can import the edited TSV without the need of optimization since.. they are empty and the entries will not be double.

Select the first row header cell (leftmost one), with Shift-key pressed select the last row's header cell (whole table should be selected now), press Del key.
All entries are now removed and you can import without duplicate entries.
