For now, we're overriding the base master file with the one that you
get by
installing all packages (i.e., we're essentially pre-running the
postinstall scripts that modify it), and installing that. Your change

how convenient for you.
so what are 3rd party driver writers supposed to do if they need to
modify that file?
you're making non-sun driver writers second-class citizens.
Not very "open" of you.
Danek didn't say or imply that this was the solution. The "For now" and
"not what we intend to have in the end" were pretty strong hints and that.
How would you like to see it resolved (other than a postinstall script)?
