That said, if you want to "put" each lump of code inside its own
package, nothing prevents you to do so, but you don't need to include an
in-package form in the generated code.

(defvar *generated-packages* '())
(defvar *package-counter* 0)

(defun generate-code (x)
  (let* ((pack (make-package (format nil "GENPACK~D" 
                                          (incf *package-counter*))
                             :use '()))
         (fname (gentemp "FUN" pack))
         (vname (gentemp "VAR" pack)))
    (push pack *generated-packages*)
    `(defun ,fname (,vname)
        (+ ,vname ,x))))


cl-user> (generate-code 1)
(defun genpack1::fun0 (genpack1::var0) (+ genpack1::var0 1))
cl-user> (generate-code 2)
(defun genpack2::fun0 (genpack2::var0) (+ genpack2::var0 2))
cl-user> (generate-code 3)
(defun genpack3::fun0 (genpack3::var0) (+ genpack3::var0 3))
cl-user> 

Then you only need to generate a file that creates the packages:

(dolist (p *generated-packages*)
  (print `(make-package ,(package-name p) :use '())))    

(make-package "GENPACK3" :use 'nil) 
(make-package "GENPACK2" :use 'nil) 
(make-package "GENPACK1" :use 'nil) 

and to load it before the file contining the generated code.


But as I said, this is boring use so fine grained packages, just have
one static package for the whole generated code.
