There is no pytest mechanism for name scoping. You could play with
importing needed fixtures in package_b.conftest from package_a.conftest
under a different name. If package_a fixtures have dependencies on one
another it won't easily work, though. Therefore i guess using a prefix
for the fixtures you want to share can make sense.
