Many Solaris package sets are also split along *u/*r (User/Root) lines,
with the *r package usually including startup scripts and/or

though (unlike the previous suggestions, which will help conserve
disk space).

Actually, it is.
The reason that Solaris packages are often split into r and u components is because they support a model where /usr is a shared filesystem, mounted from NFS. In such an environment, the u packages don't get installed on the client machines that don't have their own /usr
