Quite correct.  The metainformation about the actions associated with
the delivered objects needs to be preserved.  (I always wanted to say
that. :-)

Maybe a quick fix could be to enhance SMF with an additional state:

  legacy_run, disabled, maintenance, online, package

And give "svcs" a "-t <type>" switch with a behavior similar to
"zfs list -t snapshot".

So "svcs -t package" would list those services, but "svcs -a" would not.
Easy to say, hard to do I guess...
