Thanks for having a look at this.

It makes more sense for a package in PACKAGES to depend on a
DEFAULT-PACKAGE than vice versa.

=org-latex-packages-alist= and =org-latex-classes=' are two important
docstrings. People are likely to have crafted their configuration by
reading these documentation.

I've also just checked that by default, for document export,
DEFAULT-PACKAGES are inserted before PACKAGES --- the default
templates from =org-latex-classes= do not include =DEFAULT-PACKAGES=
nor =PACKAGES=, and in this case, =org-splice-latex-header= adds both
default packages and packages at the end, with default packages coming
first.

=org-format-latex-header= is only used to generate images for preview,
and in some cases by ob-latex to compile a document from a LaTeX src
block.
