Thinking wild thoughts-- Could we somehow leverage our legacy actions,
etc. to create some sort of wrapper-script replacement for pkgadd/pkgrm
which would error out? That is to say, if I do:
$ pkg install SUNWfoobar
...
$
$ pkgrm SUNWfoobar
ERROR: SUNWfoobar is managed by the pkg(5) packaging system.
See pkg(1) and pkg(5).
and/or
$ pkgrm SUNWcsu
ERROR: SUNWcsu is a legacy package descriptor. It or its
replacement are managed by the pkg(5) packaging system.
