I agree in principal. In this case the code is extremely tiny, though.

I'm not sure if packages which consist of only two simple classes are
really that much of a good idea. There is an overhead in tracking
dependencies and maintaining packages in itself. When the benefit of
being able to reuse the same code outweighs this overhead is not clear
to me.
