JMC-6149: Distinguish by package with default packages in the traces does not work

Using brackets is also what we do in other places in JMC to denote 
special/empty values, for example in the selection and aspect combo-boxes, 
so it would fit well.

Kind regards,
Marcus

    Yes, exactly what I had in mind, and <default> works very well, I
    think this is what other tools use as well.
