On my project, I'm using "stage" rule to that effect. With your example that 
would be

stage c-package : c : <location>./c ;

You can look at the real example at 

http://zigzag.cs.msu.su:7813/Jamfile.v2
http://zigzag.cs.msu.su:7813/cvslvk.jam

You can also run "bjam --help stage". Wait a minute... you're asking if 
there's a rule which will copy "a" and "b" as well. We don't have such a rule 
at the moment, and I think there are some questions about it. Would you want 
to copy all dependents of "c", including "a.cpp" and "a.obj"? 

Most likely not. In that case, we'd better nail down the desired semantics.
