Description

I've tried using [this](https://github.com/jaredpalmer/backpack/pull/46) configuration, and `build` seems to work, but `dev` doesn't.

I've tried `backpack dev /src/another/one.js` - it runs the script but without transcode.

I've found [this](https://github.com/jaredpalmer/backpack/issues/21) solution, but it I thought maybe there is the better way.
What is the most right way to use the backpack with multiple entries?

Thank you!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported `backpack dev /src/another/one.js` behavior and compare it with the configuration in pull request 46. Read issue 21 for the existing workaround and determine how development and build entry handling differ. Done means multiple entries work in `dev` with the same transpilation behavior as `build`.
