I downloaded latest snapshot, Mattias.  I was unable to get replicate the 
problem with using the underscore and it create the package as was expected.

However, I then tried to create a package with the same name as the unit that 
contained the component, "pos_button.pas" and "pos_button.lpk".  Saved, the 
package, added "pos_button.pas" to the package.  Saved, compiled and it did 
overwrite the "pos_button.pas" file.

I have downloaded and tried this with:
Lazarus-0.9.25-fpc-2.2.1-20080501-win32.exe
