Fix import_path for packages (#11390)

For packages, `import_path` receives the path to the package's `__init__.py` file, however module names (as they live in `sys.modules`) should not include the `__init__` part.

For example, `app/core/__init__.py` should be imported as `app.core`, not as `app.core.__init__`.

Fix #11306
