NO!  It's the package clause _inside_ the source file that defines 
which package the class belongs to. 


Whether the source file is in a directory hierarchy matching the package
hierarchy should matter only for features like automatic recompilation.

Java tools should not force you into matching the package hierarchy
unless you want to use those features.
