Firstly, "no" you are not missing anything :) What you describe does not sound like inheritance: more of a fall through of assets from a top level package to lower sub-packages.
The Global Area would provide what you might be looking for - a place where assets can be shared with other packages. We do provide for "true" rule inheritance already.
