Eric, No packages. It's just a physical separation of modules into logically-related groups so as not to clutter the top-level directory. All beam files still go into one ebin directory. It's the same as if the files were all in one source directory. It would be nice, but not critical, if any change you do could honor a ".sinan_ignore" file in a subdirectory instead of having to explicitly state it in _build.cfg.
It would really help me if you did this. I am surprised that nobody has mentioned it before.
