Lets assume you have some packge like ada.integer_text_io.

then => package int_io renames ada.integer_text_io;
will rename that package to your specified identifier. The exact
syntax for package renaming declarations is in section 8.5.3 of the
Language Reference Manual, page 154.

Or you can create an entirely new instance of a package to instantiate
some portion of a generic package.

ie.  => type small_natural is new natural range 1..10;
        package small_natural_io is new   
        ada.text_io.integer_io(small_natural'range);

What you were trying to do in your original example is syntactically
incorrect. If your goal was to create two seperate packages using the
same unit as a base for these, then you should probably look into
generic units.
