     I am a little uncertain about "import" semantics in a hierarchical package ... i.e. if I import the root of a package root do I get everything under the "root's" namespace, i.e. the namespace tree?

no. you import just *module*, and it gives you just the identifiers exported by module (by default - all symbols *defined* in this module)
