With darcs, I would set up two repositories (package1 and package2).
I would then set up a combined repository:

  darcs get package1 combined
  cd combined
  darcs pull ../package2

I would then continue to make edits to 'package1' and 'package2', and keep
'combined' up-to-date by pulling from both source repositories.

There has been talk about nested repositories in darcs, but the
concept is still very ellusive.
