Diagnoses

After check with customer they tried to create one main page "Accueil" (Home) that reference lot of other K2 project (Form), but this main form have a reference to all other project using Smartform action "Navigate to another Form" but in this case, the system make a bijective relation between the Home page and the Project.
If the Home Page have 4 buttons "Navigate to another Form" to have a link to K2 project A, B, C and D, if you whant to package only package A, the system will have to add automatically the Home page and other project B, C D too in the same time.

 

Resolution

Replace the "Navigate to another Form" by "Navigate to a URL"

Note: I provide the tool "EsayCompare" (currently in development : not on the community): For a specified category, it allow you to see all dependencies object not in this directory (or sub directory).
With this tools, we found other similar issue with "Open sub form": in this case, you can too use "Navigate to a URL"
