Hello

I'm currently packaging NIC drivers, and I looked at the SUNW NIC drivers' 
pkginfo files to see how Sun handles zones in these.

What I found is that both SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES and SUNW_PKG_HOLLOW are equal to 
"true". This causes the driver packages to show up but not actually be 
installed in zones.

So my question is this: what is the purpose of setting SUNW_PKG_HOLLOW to true?
What is the reason behind having empty driver packages in zones?

I've been trying to figure out possible implications of setting both 
SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES and SUNW_PKG_HOLLOW to "false", but I know from experience 
that when Sun engineers do something, there must be some reason for it.
