I found the following description in README.pkg.
Zones and Packages
------------------
pkg(5) uses variants to implement zones. If a package is marked
with both global and non-global zone variants, the package contents will
be installed in both global and non-global by default.
set name=variant.opensolaris.zone value=global value=nonglobal
Specific actions within a package can be tagged as applying to only
the global zone or only the non-global zones.
The global_zone_only_component transform described above is also
available to simplify a common packaging scenario.
This sounds to me that in my case (two kinds of contents; one is for the global
zone ony (i.e. driver) and the other is for both (i.e. smf service)), I should
use separate packages (one for driver, the other for smf service).
Am I right?
Thanks,
