Hi,

I have extended the APKBUILD reference with some more details on how
subpackages works:
http://alpinelinux.org/wiki/APKBUILD_Reference#Subpackages

Anything you miss there?

I'm also thinking that we maybe should change the behaviour and always
require that you specify the :splitfunction of the subpackages. That
means that *every* package needs to change from:

subpackages="$pkgname-dev $pkgname-doc"

to

subpackages="$pkgname-dev:dev $pkgname-doc:doc"

It means more typing but the benefit is that it makes it much clearer
and easier to understand how the subfunctions work.

Big job. Is it worth it?
