Can you change "solaris" to "publisher: solaris" ?

And maybe a label for the package as well?

I've been purposely avoiding labels for those items because of the extra noise it creates in the output. I might be convinced that the publisher one needs it, but I have mixed feelings about the package one.

It would be nice to prefix it with either
"package" or "incorporation" or some other informal
description of the package type.

There is no such thing as "package type" though. A package can contain incorporation dependencies along with other dependency types. So the only thing that a user can go by is the name.

While all the version components are single digits, the lines
are all nicely lined up. It would be easier to evaluate the long-term
legibility if you would use some two digit numbers in your examples.

Left-justification within the field will be guaranteed for the versions, so yes, there could be a jagged edge on the right side if version lengths are variable.

How would you explain to an end user (who is only casually familiar
with IPS terms) why the second package has a "consolidatin/ips"
prefix, but the first one shows only a base name?

That's just an oversight in my contrived example. The actual package is supposed to be printed there, I just failed to notice that I had left off the consolidation/osnet/ portion of the name.
