Would it be unreasonable to define "." as meaning the current package, rather than the current module -- i.e. the package itself if the importer is a package, and the containing package if it's a plain module?

Not unreasonable, but I think it complicates the explanation. I'm basically -0 on having "." in init.py refer to the current package instead of the parent; we'll see what Guido says.
