proj1/lib/pkg/__init__.py (and its counterpart under proj2) might set their __path__ as to "merge" the two separate directories when seen as Python packages. A rather contorted "solution" (compared to the simple and obvious one of NOT "separating during development" parts that appear to be so closely entwined) but I think it would work.
