That's certainly doable (pending someone actually implementing it) and probably something 
that could be generalized at the gdal_translate level

In the meantime, you can achieve a similar result with for example gdalwarp (in update 
mode) and using the GPKG ZOOM_LEVEL open option.

Example:

- gdal_translate small_world.tif small_world.gpkg -of gpkg
(the full resolution data is at zoom level 1)

- gdal_translate small_world.tif ovr.tif -outsize 50% 50% -scale 0 255 127 255
(create a brighter overview)

- gdalwarp ovr.tif small_world.gpkg -doo ZOOM_LEVEL=0
(populate zoom_level=0, ie first overview level, with the content of this file)

The above can be generalized too as many overviews as needed. You may need to use the -
ovr switch of gdalwarp to select the appropriate source overview.
