The package.conf file is correct.  If you use

    import Graphics.UI.ObjectIO

the system will find the interface file correctly from the directory
$libdir/import/ObjectIO.  Perhaps it would be clearer if the base
directory for the package were named $libdir/import/objectio, that
the name of the directory should not be mentioned in your program's
import declaration.
