I should have been more precise, but:
- no scripts are run if the package is hollow
- a preinstall script will always be run if the package is not hollow
- class-action scripts are not run if the files in the class are in an
inherited area
- for postinstall, the logic is (from pkginstall/main.c):
/*
* fresh installing into non-global zone, no object was
* updated (installed/verified in non-inherited area),
* and and at least one object was skipped (verified in
* inherited area) - this means all objects were skipped
* so do not run the postinstall script.
