I think this message is confusing and incorrect to boot.

I've posted "bug reports" on similar messages. I don't think they're Walter's top priority (and probably rightly so), but I think they're good candidates for improvement.

But we have a package attribute now, so i hope all problems are solved.

Exactly message should say something else, not sure exactly what, but this one does imply that the module def is in more packages, which is not true(or if it is, it is hard to understand)
