Because you are logging *.info to /var/adm/messages. Syslog takes the
severity that you list and will log everything at that level *and* more
severe to where you tell it. As such, if we look at your firewall log
rules, the local.0 warning line is redundant as local0.debug will
already log them.
Similarly given that you are logging *.info to /var/adm/messages, this
includes what you listed earlier (*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice) and
much much more (including local0.debug).

Why is the syslog writing ipflogs in messages and in ipf.log? It is spamming my
messages. Where did I do something wrong?
#firewall log
local0.warning /var/log/ipf.log
local0.debug /var/log/ipf.log
*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice /dev/sysmsg
*.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit /var/adm/messages
