It's generally not a good guideline for openbsd packages. We frown heavily on added complexity. The only cases where subpackages make sense for us are: - big extra dependencies where one tiny piece - licence issues - big size issues. If it's just a few small tools or contrib scripts, it really doesn't matter.
