I really think signed packages needs to be part of this too.  Most 
(maybe all) of the competition has this capability as does the existing 
Solaris SVR4 derived pkgadd(1M) system.

I know I need to find some time to put together a proposal for how this 
should be done, but I've been busy trying to finish up zfs-crypto (yeah
