As far as I know it works like this:

pack
   |- pack1
     |- foo.d
     |- bar.d
       |- pack2
           |- a.d
   |- pack3
       |- b.d
   |- c.d

// pack.pack1.foo

package int x = 3;

// pack.pack1.bar

x = 4; // this is fine since it's in the same package.

// pack.pack1.pack2.a

x = 5; // error, cannot access package protected variable.

// pack.pack3.b

x = 6; // error, cannot access package protected variable.

// pack.c

x = 7; // error, cannot access package protected variable.

Oh, and "package" is non-virtual, for some reason.
