this is a problem. What are you trying to accomplish that you need to
use svcs -a and the output of the services used by pkg(5) gets in the way?
Reduce clutter. Protect the admin from seeing things that look like
services but really are metainformation storage containers for packaged
objects.
Most of these services aren't just for packaged objects, they do
self-assembly of the system on reboot, just like all the other transient
services.
If you want an option to svcs which doesn't list transient services, that
would be straightforward, and maybe even a good idea -- show me the
services which are actively performing work on the system, as opposed to
things like, say coreadm, or network/physical:default, or even
manifest-import which do something when they're started, but then aren't
involved in active operation.
But, I'm skeptical that these services which are activated by packaging
are a more special class than other transient services.
