Another workaround:

package Foo is
   pragma Elaborate_Body( Foo ) ;

   generic
      with procedure Operation is <> ;
   package Signature is end ;

   procedure Operation is null ;
   package Impl is new Signature ;

   generic
      with package S is new Signature( others => <> ) ;
   package Module is end ;

   package M is new Module( S => Impl ) ;
end ;
