IIRC, this isn't particularly well documented. But it is possible to create
import packages using multiple metadata schemas.

The trick is to have separate metadata files for each schema. 'dc' goes into
the standard dublin_core.xml, But for any other schema, you need to create a
file called:

metadata_<prefix>.xml

The contents of which is structured just like dublin_core.xml, except on the
<dublin_core> element, you need to include a schema="<prefix>" attribute.
