The translation rules for displaying package names in the packagemanager GUI seem a little counterintuitive in one particular aspect. Can someone explain the rationale to me?
(Comment 11 here: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7037)

The rules state:

FMRI: network/utility/pidgin
PM: pidgin

FMRI: network/pidgin
PM: network/pidgin

If the goal is to save space, the perhaps non-special names should be limited to showing the last two items? Or the first and last item? But it seems that 2-part names and N-part
names should be treated more similarly.
