Joachim, why did you want this term.
Is it (say) for naming a directory where it has to be a single word
(preferably with less than 8 letters), or for documentation.

If it is for documentation, then as my learned friends with
thesauri have shown, there does not appear to be a good word for it.
In the 2e documentation (docclass.dtx, features.tex) I think we used
`class or package file' to denote the concept. Not exactly snappy, but
accurate, and conveys the meaning of `class or package file' rather
well :-)
