That's definitely possible, but still only a workaround solution.
The real solution IMO is to permit nested packages as units that are 
interchangeable with child packages in package hierarchies.
I.e. everywhere that a child package may appear, also a nested
package could appear.

It should be at the software archtiect's freedom how he chooses to
physically lay out a unit in the hierarchy - as a child package or as 
a nested package.
