Please use Context.createPackageContext() for the other package and just
access the files through that.  All of the same permission limitations
apply, but then you don't need to have nasty absolute magic paths.  (Which
okay at this point I have come to terms with the fact that we are stuck
forever with /data/data because of so many apps hard-coding it, but I can
still dream.)
