How to un-merge Android Studio Packages

Question

Anytime I create a package within a package, and create classes within that sub-package prior to adding classes to the top level package, the packages always merge together.

For example I created the social package, and the contact package within. After adding a few classes to the contact package, Android studio automatically merged the two together as:

Now if I right click to create another class, it simply places it inside the contact package.

How can I "un-merge" pakcags to allow placing classes within the social package?
