Many packages break when using this. Some are because assumptions made on build() about the value of $pkgname which changes when --pkg was used. These should use $pkgbase anyway... Also, there are quite a few split packages that rely on the first first split-package being packaged for the rest of the package functions to work. This will become more prevalent when a way to do a "make install" followed by moving files into different packages becomes available (i.e. rpm packaging style - I am working on this). So... essentially, it is (debatably) broken and will become more broken in the future
