New comment by ericonr on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/30678#issuecomment-832190687 Comment: The idea of the split is that it becomes necessary because we have many `binutils` packages which would otherwise conflict. But `docs` as a split package solve this. In that way, the fact that it's a subpackage could be considered an implementation detail (in order for all the packages to provide the complete deal, including docs) rather than something users should be worrying about, so I would go as far as to say there is nothing to change.
