I always took the "value packs of 10 (in five varieties)" to be reference to the music industry putting together albums full of 10 or so songs (whether or not they have any cohesiveness) and force-fitting them into a few (5?) genres: Pop, R&B, Jazz, Country, Classical. Taking the art and forcing it into a "marketable" format ("value-packs").
