I share your opinion and I'd like to get new nexenta.org page a bit more 
cleaned up and nicer. Having google ads on top wasting one fifth of a 
webpage does not look nice to me. Let's come up with a website design 
prototype so that we can see...

This is of course very interesting topic, we probably don't want to fall 
into the same madness SVR4 pkgs are now (indicating where they can be 
installed via SUNW_ALL_ZONES, SUNW_THIS_ZONE, etc...)

I have not yet thought about this myself yet...

or we can let the dpkg/apt to create dummy entry for a package that is 
not supposed to be installed in a local zone, still very sensitive topic...
