+                    Specifies a list of functions run to perform additional
+                    splitting of files into individual packages.
+                    Recipes can either prepend to this variable or prepend
+                    to the <filename>populate_packages</filename> function
+                    in order to perform the additional package splitting.
+                    In either case, the function should set

+                    <link linkend='var-FILES'><filename>FILES</filename></link>,
