To my knowledge, there's no way to publish a package as belonging to a
particular authority.  The authority names, at this point in time, are
defined entirely by the creator of the image.  So you really don't have to
worry about this for now.

The way we'd intended to do these was to dump everything into a single
package, tag files appropriately, and use filters to install selectively.
That is,

    file path=usr/lib/libsdl.so.1
    file path=usr/lib/libsdl.so devel=true
    directory path=usr/include/sdl devel=true
    file path=usr/include/sdl/sdl.h devel=true
    file path=usr/man/man3/libsdl.3 docs=true

etc.  Locale-specific packages would be handled similarly, but there you'd
have a "locale" tag which would specify the locale a particular file
belonged to.
