Previous discussions about this have come up with just using the 
categories already present in std.algorithm's documentation so 
it'd be:

std.algorithm.searching
std.algorithm.iteration
std.algorithm.sorting
std.algorithm.set
std.algorithm.mutation

Module tenses and exact naming could change, of course, but just 
those categories would break it up pretty evenly while keeping 
similar things close together.

Jonathan could probably give some guidance here because as far as 
I know he's the only person that has any experience attempting to 
break up a large phobos module into a package (std.datetime). I'm 
not sure what he has left or what blockers remain for finishing 
that up.
