I haven't created packages, but I thought you didn't call a package. I thought you called a "method" of a package.

package.method

This can then execute whatever it has defined in the package as. So, in this execution is where you would make sure something is called. Or, are you trying to make sure that any package.method call executes a specific procedure?

I believe this should suffice.
