yeap, that's one of the reasons i'm quite hesitant doing any new work on the 
qscriptengine right now.

what could be tried, afaik on the public c++ side qml2 shouldn't change much, 
so the qdeclarativecontext should still exist (their implementation of context 
that no, isn't *exactly* a context of the qscriptengine :p)

so we could register there a qobject with id "package", so any reference to 
package in child objects would go to that one
