For what it's worth, this is a _super_ useful feature for Twisted.  We 
have one "defining package" for the "twisted" package (twisted core) and 
then a bunch of other things which want to put things into twisted.* 
(twisted.web, twisted.conch, et. al.).

For debian we already have separate packages, but such a definition of 
namespace packages would allow us to actually have things separated out 
on the cheeseshop as well.
