It would expand the role of submunition packs to allow them to engage 
fighters within the single arc of fire for the pack.  They still would
be
marked as expended once used, but it adds a beefy point defense
capability.
The same dice vs range table could be used.

In a similar fashion, you could use sub packs against missiles. Same
number
of dice vs range.  6 to kill as for all hits against missiles.

I still think it's more advantageous to use sub packs against capital
ships
and heavily shielded cruisers but these rules would allow for fleet
point 
defense capabilities.
