Personally I always import by class rather than package. If I need to update a file that has package imports, I delete the package imports, compile the file, then use the compile buffer error messages to jump to the first unimported symbol, type C-c C-v C-z to import it jump to the next unimported symbol, C-c C-v C-z, to import it and so on. People have suggested adding a command to import all class symbols in a file that are not already imported. I think this is a good idea but have never felt sufficiently motivated to write it, nor has anyone else so far as I know. - Paul
