The description of the problem is wrong... It has nothing to do with call, it is due to the eval behaviour. Any variable referenced with a single $ inside the inner-generic-package macro is expanded before the resulting contents are eval'ed. Therefore, it is not possible to refer to variables defined by the inner-generic-package macro from within a single-$ function call. Fortunately there is a simple solution: use $$.
