bug: cannot pull CellBudgetFile records for a single package instance when there are multiple packages of the same type

[jknightusgs]

I have 2 drain packages in a MF6 (v6.4.0) model.
I assigned the pname variable "drnts" for one and "drnws" for the other.
they show up in the name file as such:
drn6 blrm.drnts drnts
drn6 blrm.drnws drnws

flows for each package are saved to the cell budget binary output file.
I instantiate the CellBudgetFile object.
cbc = flopy.utils.CellBudgetFile(cbcfile, precision='double', verbose=True)
cbc.get_unique_record_names()
[b' STO-SS',
b' STO-SY',
b' FLOW-JA-FACE',
b' DATA-SPDIS',
b' WEL',
b' DRN',
b' GHB',
b' RCH',
b' RCHA',
b' SFR']
get_unique_package_names():
[b'', b'NPF ', b'BLRM ']

the get_data() function only allows using "text" or "paknam" to find records.
cbc.get_data(text="DRN")
Returning DRN as a numpy recarray of size (655, 2)
Returning DRN as a numpy recarray of size (409, 2)
Returning DRN as a numpy recarray of size (655, 2)
Returning DRN as a numpy recarray of size (409, 2)
...the 2 drn packages are returned for each stress period of the model

Is there a way to pull records for just one of the DRN packages?
In the cbc recordarray I see that the pnames I assigned are saved in the "paknam2" field:

but there doesn't seem to be a way to search cbc records based on the paknam2 field.
alternatively, is there a way when building the model in flopy to get the pname variable assigned to "paknam" instead of "paknam2" so that I can pull cbc data with the paknam argument instead of the text argument?

thanks!

A recent addition through this PR should help. You should be able to specify paknam2 in the get_data() method. It is relatively new, so you may need to use the develop version. Will this work?
