The more the packaging system knows about Solaris internals, the more
difficult it is to make upgrade work across a wide variety of releases.

Any actions have to work across all the releases we support in order for
upgrade to work; adding more config file syntax into the packaging
system is something we'd like to avoid whenever possible.
