It depends on what the package does. Something that we do from time to 
time in Plone is to devel a plone.something package that is generic and 
depends only on Zope 3, and a plone.app.something package that provides 
some Plone specific integration, UI and/or some Zope 2 overrides for 
various components (e.g. to mix in acquisition).

See for example plone.portlets and plone.app.portlets, both in 
http://svn.plone.org/svn/plone.
