I am unconvinced that "more general packets" would magically 
(or at least easily) solve this problem :-/

I prefer that it be based on the entire production.
Example: say I have a city with no factory, a smallish
population, and several coal mines.  Under the current
rules I have to worry about pollution, whereas I don't
much under your rules.  I prefer the current rules here.

It would seem more sensible to allow both to have effect.
I'm pretty sure they could in Civ1, because I seem to recall
often building Hoover first, then gradually building mass 
transits (presumably due to hitting the tech advancement 
effects), but if I got too much production (eg, Mfg Plant) 
having to also add Recycling Center on top.

I prefer the more gradual change with more factors.

If you use --debug 3 with some arcane specifications you can
to some extent control which LOG_DEBUG messages you get.
