Oh yes it can. Full test program:

package P is
   type Thing is new Integer;
   procedure M (Value : Thing);
end P;
with P.S1;
package body P is
   procedure M (Value : Thing) is
   begin
      S1.N (Value);
   end M;
end P;
with Ada.Text_IO;
package P.S1 is
   procedure N (Value : Thing);
end P.S1;
package body P.S1 is
   procedure N (Value : Thing) is
   begin
      Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ("P.S1.N called with " & Value'Img);
   end N;
end P.S1;
with P;
procedure Test is
begin
   P.M (42);
end Test;
