Since the pkgpart is referred to in the pkg_svc table, to connect package
definitions to service definitions, when you manually change the pkgparts,
you're also effectively changing which services are included in the
package.

There's nothing magical about the "first 13 packages".

I'm guessing you misunderstand which packages appear in this list.

Do you mean that you attempted to add a customer without a package? 
That's not an error condition.  Please report the exact error message,
with cut and paste.
