I'm thinking about this from a FreshPorts point of view. With respect to subpackages, what will people want to see on the page for a give port?

• list subpackages for this port? how do I get a list of subpackages for a port? make -V SUBPACKAGES
• list of packages built by this port (I'm guessing packages.yaml will point back to the port)
• is there any other information thought to be relevant to have on the page?
