I just took a closer look at the C++ skeletons. This is how you specify
the name of the parser class there:
%define "parser_class_name" "MyParser"
This frees %name-prefix completely for the package.

You seem to be assuming that the other files would necessarily be in the
same package. Maybe that's a valid assumption. If not, Bison would need
to qualify references to the parser class: mypkg.mysubpkg.MyParser.
Obviously, it's a little hard to predict the future here, but it seems
wise to make information available to Bison when possible.

Sorry, I just meant that a package directive would be common. I didn't
mean that Bison should make it mandatory.
