I don't think it's actually "aliasing", which to me would imply that
the TraceLevel package actually points to the other package (like a
filesystem link). It's just that all the entries in the other
package have been copied into the TraceLevel package. But you could
still create more new entries in one package after the copy is made,
without them showing up in the other package.
