The package selection is largely down to the new WLTP emissions rules. Under the old rules NEDC rules there was little requirement to test the effects of additional equipment either for weight or electrical demand (and thus load on the alternator). The new rules are quite different and require some level of testing for all options. This is a real pain for manufacturers that have traditionally had long options lists. To simplify things they group options together.
While this might be irritating to some it should be quite good for the second hand market as it should mean you are less likely to find really weirdly specced cars. A classic one I saw a while back was full individual paint and interior but with base stereo and halogen lights.
Anyway congrats on the order, that should be a pretty nice car when it arrives.
