Will the configuration's in a package be query-able, the query
outputting the configuration options with possible values?
$ pkg -q foo

I suppose, the packaging provides for associated description along
configurable parameters (something configure script with different
configurable parameters).

What is pkg_fmri?
I checked the man pages in the repo, the slides from the summit, but
couldn't make out what the term was meant.
smf' already uses the term as "Fault Managed Resource Identifier". Is
this term overloaded for pkg?
