There is no such requirement. This is simply the default, but it can be
overridden using a configuration pragma in the gnat.adc, which acts much
like the unit map that Tuck described.

Time for me to once again say. If you are using GNAT, it is a remarkably
good idea to read the GNAT manuals, you might learn all sorts of useful
stuff :-)
