I don't think this is true.  See number of non-comment lines on pkg.m:

    $ grep -vP '\s*#' scripts/pkg/pkg.m | wc -l
    304

versus the number on its subfunctions:

    $ grep -vP '\s*#' scripts/pkg/private/*.m | wc -l
    1744

The options parsing happens in pkg.m only but even that is only a
portion of the file.  Much more complicated is the handling of the
multiple options, not finding which options have been set.
