Back to?  I don't recall it ever being that way.  PCB uses filled
rectangles when the pads are square, and lines for all other pads.

You could write a HID just to export the paste layer "your way" ;-)

Also, if you look in hid/ps/ps.c's ps_draw_line(), you'll see a
commented-out piece of code that redirects square paste lines to
fill_rect so that ps_fill_rect can "outline" them.  Maybe you could
enable that code?

Yup.
