I think I've seen several ELF dependencies missed in X-related packages due to
the ELF dependency finding /usr/lib/libX*.so and not following the symlinks to
/usr/X11/lib/libX*.so due to
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3395 but I don't remember
specific examples off hand.

(What about #! interpreter dependencies?   I thought IPS did those too, but
 with similar problems if you specify #!/bin/perl and not
 #!/usr/perl5.8.4/bin/perl  )
