I'm not sure where you're getting this example from. there is no
_utils, for either pcre, or your newer readline package.
If you are referring to your recent "libaudiofile", and
"libaudiofile_utils", I would say that that is not in the case set I
described; it is not a "multi-library" set.

I will also point out that just recently, we had

bind-9.8.0,REV=2011.03.13-SunOS5.9-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz
bind_chroot-9.8.0,REV=2011.03.13-SunOS5.9-all-CSW.pkg.gz
bind_dev-9.8.0,REV=2011.03.13-SunOS5.9-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz
bind_utils-9.8.0,REV=2011.03.13-SunOS5.9-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz
libbind-9.8.0,REV=2011.03.13-SunOS5.9-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz

which is another pre-existing example conforming to the style I am
proposing to be official.

Errr...? looking at existing released packages, we do not have
CSWlibpcre-dev(el).
We have
NAME=pcre_devel
PKG=CSWpcre-devel
