The discussion was taken place at another forum, and Darren Mar-Elia came to
the correct conclusion that the permissions I've granted on the GPO was not
inherited the its sub-containers, and thus the user was unable to add
packages even though he had FC on GPO container. The solution was to specify
that the permission (delegation) on GPO should be inerited by child object.
