Do you mind pointing out what exactly makes my software "incorrectly packaged" 
for OpenSolaris?
Is there a formal specification document which details how and in what places 
"Indiana" expects to have software packaged?

Yes, I know, which is the primary reason why I asked this question.

isaexec works with hard links only.
I have no way to guarantee, that /opt will not be a separate filesystem: it 
might be shared out via NFS from a different system, for instance; hard links 
cannot span filesystems, soft links do not work, copying isaexec does not work 
for several reasons, one of which is that IPS is a "no scripting zone", and 
another, that by doing a one time copy in "postinstall", the now private copy 
of isaexec in /opt would not get patched like the one in /usr/lib/ would.

Do you have any concrete suggestions, other than "your software is incorrectly 
packaged for OpenSolaris 200x"?
