This is a known issue.  Dialyzer does not support packages (at least not 
yet) but the situation is not that different than those of many other 
tools that manipulating Erlang code, which currently do not support 
packages either.  Supporting packages is on our TODO list, but its 
priority is quite low and the decision to promote it to a higher 
priority is to some extent dependent on the general future of packages 
in Erlang.

PS. Personally, I am positively inclined towards packages, but only
     mildly so.
