Good point.

Ditto.

You are so smart :) Indeed the idea is to make packages globally unique,
although on initial import this may not be a goal of the user; uniqueness
within the organization is sufficient. So the resolved package name will
likely be something like:

<user-defined-base-package>.legacy.<imported-path>

Packages *can* be trivially moved while they are only being used locally
(that is the app will provide support for this) and so could be moved to
something more akin to a canonical package for public release of one's
data:

edu.bu.asllrp.2003.foobar

Thanks for the helpful tips, and sanity checking.
