What about using something like the With statement?

Some possible examples:

with package.sub_package.vendor {
   import module_a.sub1;
   import module_a.sub2;
   import module_b;
}

with package.sub_package.vendor {
   with module_a {
      import sub1;
      import sub2;
   }
   import module_b;
}

   import module_a.sub2;
   import module_b;
}
