I wanted to break this off as an idea, I threw it in an issue I had (which ended up being something you already fixed).
You said you may look into it further and I did some more research and testing. I just wanted to provide my findings .. hoping it might be of some use.
Summary of possible enhancements:
Accurate/original Icons dumping
Accurate/original param.sfo dumping, so accurate titles, content_id, and so on
Creating a dump that provides you everything you need making repackage as fpkg DLC easier
A possible way of dumping DLC without extra data (Disc version DLC that's an unlocker)
A very rough idea around dumping DLC without extra data that's not from a disc
DLC with Extra Data
I only have one example in my collection I ripped.. so if anyone else has extra data DLCs and can help confirm that would be great. Not sure if this is true for Digital Content as well
It appears DLCs with extra data stores the package under /user/add/content/{CUSA#####}/{truncated_dlc_title}/ac.pkg
Where DLC title is UP0082-CUSA08479_00-BTS0000000000002-ac the last folder would be BTS0000000000002
Alternative location for this is off the disc /mnt/disc/addcont/{CUSA#####}/{truncated_dlc_title}/ac.pkg as well.
I suggest maybe adding dumping this ac.pkg (icon0.png and param.sfo to sce_sys folder) as part of the DLC Dump process
DLC without Extra Data (Disc Version DLC)
This data currently doesn't get dump by the tool. So, maybe try this if no DLC folders are found... or check if a disc is inserted and compare to the folders dumped with extra data. If extra DLC exists follow this method to dump files needed to make an unlocker DLC.
I have 3 discs with this type of DLC and the ac.pkg doens't appear to be copied to the PS4 like it does with DLC that has extra data.
Though I found from the disc itself it has ac.pkg stored in /mnt/disc/addcont/{CUSA#####}/{Ptruncated_dlc_title}/ac.pkg
I was able to dump the icon and param.sfo from this and create an unlocker DLC with it.
DLC without Extra Data (Digital Content)
I don't have any content like this, so this is all theory
If no Extra Data DLC exists and no disc is insert.. maybe do this method.
Read from addcont.db, there might be enough data to build a param.sfo?
The icon can be found under /user/appmeta/addcont/{CUSA#####}/{truncated_dlc_title}/
Create a folder use the dir_name, create a sce_sys folder, place the generated param.sfo and icon (pngs) .. that's all that's needed for a unlocker DLC.. so
Sorry this turned into a book, but again I hope this is helpful and might trigger some ideas for your dumper script, I really love it using it and it's saved me a ton of time dumping my games.
