Description Chen Qi 2018-12-04 01:54:30 UTC 
The util-linux recipe is split into many packages, each of which only contain one utility. This is currently done by hard coding.
As time goes on, people tend to do more splitting.
We should do the splitting automatically, so that for every utility in util-linux, there's a util-linux-XXX package there.

Upgrade notice could mention:
- util-linux is split into lots of sub-packages now, not just a few

Upgrade notice should mention:
- util-linux is a pure meta-package now
- it RRECOMMENDS *all* sub-packages now, not just a selection of those
