Currently yes, but that seems like a UI issue, not a spec issue. 
Nothing _requires_ that behavior of UAs.

I'd prefer just having a header in multipart responses to flag that all 
the files should probably be saved to the same location, or fixing UAs 
to only prompt once, to inventing yet another package format here.
