    I hope other users jump in to share what they do here, but I'd like to clarify that PowerPacks are not automatically upgraded/installed during SL1 version updates. The new files are loaded or "imported" and will appear when you click "install powerpack" in the list of imported PowerPacks.

We export the powerpacks and then delete them.  Upgrade them in a dev environment fix any known bugs we know about (like time not handled correctly). Then export and import into production.
