If you have package hierarchies remotely that deep, you have bigger  
problems.

If dotted names are long enough to be a significant bother, packages  
are too deeply nested.  Too deeply nested packages was a mistake we  
made in Zope 3 early on.

I prefer to have no-more than two levels of packages, a namespace  
package and a project package within the namespace packages.  (I can  
live with 3 levels in some cases.)
