I don't know where you heard this, but it's not true. Procedure Builder handles packages just fine.

Procedure Builder is a GUI, interactive PL/SQL editor, compiler, and debugger. It graphically displays all stored program units and database triggers, and allows you to drag-and-drop them onto the client for debugging, then back to the server for deployment. The PL/SQL debugger is the only one on the market that lets you set breakpoints, step through your code, and examine and change the values of local variables.
