Uh, why?  BFUing ON build N over Solaris Express build N is a no-op
when it goes right and harmful otherwise; BFUing ON build N over some
other distribution is even more suspect.

BFU is for ON developers to test their changes without having to build
packages (impossible without the closed tree at the moment), build a
full WOS image (impossible for Solaris Express; other distributions
make this work though) or do a time-consuming upgrade/reinstall.  It's
not a general-purpose end user installation utility, and that's been
made painfully clear in the documentation.
