Also, I agree with Kenny that splitting libraries into too fine-grained small little packages is not a good recipe for organizing your projects. Lisp packages want to be big, and there is no major disadvantage in doing so, and I fear that hierarchical package names encourage unnecessary fine-grained splitting. That just creates visibility problems, and distract from solving /actual/ problems.

On a related note, I attempted to retrofit a 150K+ LOC application with "inferred packages"[1] and, revision time and effort aside, I think the only dependency problem it solved was the one it created. I have not tried it with a larger or smaller application, and, of course, YMMV.
