alpine-baselayout is a little bit special. If you look at source=3D line
in its APKBUILD, you will see it contains only "local" files (local to
the APKBUILD). In another word, "source package" =3D APKBUILD + those
local files (crontab, color_prompt, etc.)

Other examples are alpine-base, alpine-mirrors, alpine-keys (anyone else?=
).
