You're welcome.

It's not a big issue for FTP team to process a bunch of packages, it
becomes harder when they are entangled one another (i.e. foo depends on
bar, which depends on baz, which depends on foo).

I'd go for a mid-way between the two solutions. If you uploaded a
minimum set of packages needed for profnet to be usable, providing us a
little guidance about their priority (i.e. process foo, then process
bar, then process baz in this strict order), it would ease the job.
