This is a troublesome one, because while thprac is certainly very useful, it's not 'necessary'. Everything currently included in the pack is there because it's necessary to play the games as they were intended to be played. (The EN patches included, since it's aimed primarily at English speakers, and I count being able to understand what's said and written in-game as necessary.) Obviously, people can, have, and still do play them just fine without thprac.
Because of this, I rejected including it last time, in order to avoid scope creep. After all, if a line isn't drawn somewhere, then there's potentially no limit to how much stuff could be included with the justification of being useful, maybe, to someone. And while the pack is targeted at both experienced and new players, it's meant as merely an easy way to download the games; I expect new players will get tips on how to actually play them elsewhere, and learn about optional tools like thprac from the same places.
However, after thinking about it for a while and seeing how popular thprac has become lately, I think that including it may be reasonable. I'm not aware of any other optional tools that are nearly as useful and widely used, so making an exception for it probably wouldn't open the door to many unreasonable requests, and it is fairly indisputably useful for players of all skill levels.

Ultimately, I'd like more feedback on this one. If enough people think it's a good idea to include, then I will.

How do the messages/portraits change in StB?
Does the portrait change based on stage score or best shot? Or does each stage just have one good portrait/message.
