"Total package" means a group of qualities you would want in a person. If you're talking about a ballplayer it means he can hit for average and power, run, field, and throw. If you're talking about a girlfriend it means she's pretty, doesn't care how much money you make, and doesn't mind when you watch sports.

"Total package" may come from the retail industry where you can buy a "package" of goods such as a living room set or a home entertainment system that includes everything the reasonable consumer would want.
