So there's been work to solve this problem, but unfortunately the pull request https://github.com/meteor/meteor/pull/1133 never got merged. Probably your best bet is check the meteor-core Google Groups and see if there was any comment on it and if not, see if you can get a core dev to comment on it.

If you want to still use the pull request, what you could do is remove the various Meteor accounts-* packages, then in the root of your project, create a /packages folder and copy yubozhao's patched accounts-* packages in there (probably smart to append -custom). You'd then meteor add accounts-base-custom, etc. to add them to your project.

Note though, yubozhao wrote this is 6-7 months ago and you may need to stick with whatever version of Meteor that was current then for it to work.

Update April 2014: There's an Atmosphere package now that has a similar use case that might be useful: https://atmospherejs.com/package/accounts-merge
