Package Templates?

Can we create template packages? Where do we place them? Is this supposed to be VSI based now?This was described by Donald Farmer himself:

You can save a package to this location and it can be used as a template package. Right click on the Packages node of the project and select ��Add new item��

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE
\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems
\DataTransformationProject\DataTransformationItems

You cannot save and reuse individual objects within a package, but you can copy and paste between packages which can be useful for reusing objects.

That doesn't seem to work anymore. I recall this from Donald, and tried it again recently, but no joy. Is it just me? I assumed that this may not work since Donald wrote that some time ago, back when BIDS was separate.
