I used that way for TYPO3CR today, changed the configuration manager a 
little to fit to that and started documenting configuration in the FLOW3 
package documentation (see SVN).

That is still open. For common settings I would suggest using a "special 
package key" that is reserved, like, err, "GLOBALS" or something.

Options shared by subpackages (as in subpackages in one FLOW3 package) 
can be named as the developer likes, I think it is hard to come up with 
rules that make sense here. Or did I get the term "subpackages" wrong?
