Use of Data Model Package Names

Is there any specific use of the package-name
attribute of the entity?  If it is currently purely
arbitrary for grouping similar types of data, would it
be better to use something closer to the following
convention.

Entity ProductRole
org.ofbiz.party.role.product

Entity BillingAccountRole
org.ofbiz.party.role.accounting

This way you're seeing what the defined entity is
extending and better able to see dependencies.  This
example obviously shows that both of these entities
are dependent on the party entitymodel.
