Given that, here's the names I'd suggest changing from the list in the
bug report for the X packages to match the upstream tarballs - though
we've still got a lot of packages that merge & split upstream, which
will be fixed in a later refactoring.

SUNWpciaccess                           system/library/libpciaccess
SUNWfont-daewoo-misc                    system/font/daewoo-misc
SUNWfont-misc-ethiopic                  system/font/misc-ethiopic
SUNWfont-isas-misc                      system/font/isas-misc
SUNWfont-jis-misc                       system/font/jis-misc
SUNWfont-misc-meltho                    system/font/misc-meltho
SUNWfontconfig                          system/library/fontconfig
SUNWfontconfig-docs                     system/library/fontconfig/documentation
SUNWfreetype2                           system/library/freetype
SUNWxwxft                               system/library/x11/libXft2
SUNWxwfs                                system/x11/xfs

Also, should service packages mirror the SMF hierarchy?
i.e. should SUNWxwplr become service/application/x11 ?
