That would be an excellent idea. I believe there's an RFE filed, and there
certainly are folks internally who are interested. Can't give you much of
a schedule, though.

$ pkg search -l user::
should turn up plenty of packages that deliver users. Running
$ pkg contents -H -t user -o action.raw pkg
will give you one such example, albeit fairly simple.

Tim's copy is still at
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/download/Project+pkg/files/ipsdevguide.pdf
I think this is the official link:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26502_01/html/E21383/index.html
On page 30 of the PDF, you'll find
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26502_01/html/E21383/pkgterms.html#gludu
which is substantially similar to the text in the man page, though it does
have the pkg5srv example at the end.
