I believe that is the intent.  Packages can contain delays in tasks, and
calls to $time, so their behavior could be surprising if they are using
the default timescale and other parts of the design have explicit ones.
In fact, since the tasks would be called from processes in design units
that have explicit timescales, it could be particularly surprising.  The
rationale for packages seems the same as for other design elements.

I don't know whether existing tools are enforcing this.
