Since you are transporting a packfile by sneakernet it might be reasonable to assume this transfer happens infrequently. Consequently we might assume its object count exceeds transfer.unpackLimit, which means a standard fetch or push would have kept the packfile rather than unpacking it to loose objects.

So maybe use git-index-pack here to index the packfile and retain it as-is, rather than unpacking it?
