I'm sure that happens -- that's why that bug is filed. We build a *very* crude image of the filesystem in memory when resolving dependencies, and symlinks aren't a part of that. > (What about #! interpreter dependencies?

They're very simple to add, as long as you don't need to follow symlinks. The vast majority of scripts are just bourne shell scripts, and the packages already pull in SUNWcs. Perl and Python scripts are the notable exceptions.
