Identifiers exposed by a package (was: How to import only one module in a package when the package __init__.py has already imports the modules?)

Would I be correct in assuming you make an exception for the package
importing one of the modules in the package, and thereby making that
module's identifier exposed?
package_foo/
__init__.py
module_bar.py
$ cat foo/__init__.py
import module_bar
Now the name ‘package_foo.module_bar’ will get the identifier already
assigned within ‘package_foo/__init__.py’, but that identifier is the
module anyway.
