I have never seen a package annotation in the wild. I suppose someone
might
@Deprecate[d] a package, but I've never seen it. Perhaps a package-
info.java
file might include annotations for per-package versioning and sealing:
@ImplementationTitle, @ImplementationVersion, @ImplementationVendor,
etc.

A smart JAR tool could scan packages for these annotations
