Description
UUID and array datatypes are not available in GPKG/SQLite, so right now one must workaround it by using other available datatypes. Anyway it would be much better if dbsync would be smart enough to take care of the conversion to a supported datatype (i.e. text) in the GPKG and take care of casting to the original datatype when synching back.

Research direction
Start by tracing dbsync's existing datatype conversion and synchronization paths for GPKG/SQLite. Determine how UUID and array values are represented in the supported schema, then verify that synchronization to GPKG and back preserves the original datatypes and values.
