Description
OGR supports reading and writing of GeoPackage vector format.
QGIS supports GeoPackage reading/importing (besides Drag&Drop, see #10228).
But GeoPackage writing, meaning "Vectorlayer save as..." is missing.
This would enhance chances to finally get a common "Shapefile of the future..." :-).

Sorry:
Title should be "GeoPackage: Vectorlayer save as... support".
And it's a feature request, not a bug.

Can somebody explain, if there is a problem when GeoPackage is being added as writable driver?
I'm not sure but it seems that it's mainly inserting following snippet to "core/qgsvectorfilewriter.cpp", specifially "QgsVectorFileWriter::driverMetadata", after line 2272:
else if ( driverName.startsWith( "GeoPackage" ) )
{
longName = "GeoPackage";
trLongName = QObject::tr( "GeoPackage" );
glob = "*.gpkg";
ext = "gpkg";

The only problem I see is that you cannot save multiple layers into one file using "Save as...". But that also already applies to SQLite/SpatiaLite.

If we could add support for geopackage in the DB manager, then we could add additional layers into one Geopackage - but that is something for QGIS 2.12 ...
