FWIW, wxPython is moving from wxSomeName to wx.SomeName
(i.e., namespacing), and is using approximately this approach.
It works very well. (And in that case, the __init__.py in the
old location os munging names, as well.)

In effect, the old location becomes a reference to the new
location, with deprecation warnings added.
