Greg,
If you have to refer to it as a package (which I don't doubt), the
correct name is definitely the "root package".
A possible clarification of your glossary entry:
\item[root package] the root of the hierarchy of packages. (This
isn't really a package, since it doesn't have an
\file{\_\_init\_\_.py} file. But we have to call it something.) The
vast majority of the standard library is in the root package, as are
many small, standalone third-party modules that don't belong to a
larger module collection.
