To the best of my knowledge and belief, as of right now, SMF provides no 
capability for a one time run, so getting post-installation code to run via SMF 
is tricky, with one svcadm refresh, and one svccfg delete.

Is it really practical to take the "no scripting zone" design so far as to 
force people to resort to "backdoors" and hacks via SMF, which SMF doesn't even 
rightly support yet? I mean, if I have to use SMF to do postinstall, I clearly 
have the need to execute code upon software installation and removal. Why 
refuse to give me capability to do that in the packaging system?
