This is called "moving forward", IPS is based on new novel ideas, a
secure package manager without any arbitrary post/pre-install scripts,
That's why lots of packages deliver their own SMF service which runs
only once.
...which is better because those SMF scripts:
* can run at "boot", which fits correctly with a zfs-based rollback setup
* run in the correct context of the system being installed on
* are at least restricted by the bounds of SMF
