Right. Using "Name : thing" notation could offer a solution to this:

Reductions : generic
    -- generic formal parameters (or "null;" if there are none)
Reductions : package is
    ...
Reductions : private
    ...
Reductions : end;

The generic formal part ends when the name is repeated. This also means "with" 
is not needed for generic formal subprograms and packages.
