No. just deliver a normal Ada spec; see below.

package Hello_Pkg is
   procedure Say_It;
end Hello_Pkg;

with Ada.Text_Io;
package body Hello_Pkg is
   procedure Say_It is
      begin
         Ada.Text_Io.Put_Line("Hello World.");
      end Say_It;
end Hello_Pkg;


with Hello_Pkg;
procedure Test_Hello is
begin
   Hello_Pkg.Say_It;
end Test_Hello;
