13241 pkg install triggers system incorporation update
See discussion in bug report for details...

So as I mentioned in the bug, the catalog should probably be changed to
include the new set name=pkg.install-hold actions in the
catalog.dependency part. Loading and parsing the catalog.summary part
during install will use about 30% more memory (at least 30 megabytes)
and it will be somewhat slower (how much, I don't know).
It's a fairly trivial change to make (about 10 lines), so I've posted a
patch against your changeset here:
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~swalker/inst_hold_cat.patch
This change should not cause any issues with older catalog v1 clients as
they simply take the catalog files and use them as-is.
It should be noted that the patch above changes the action filtering
logic for the catalog, which means that the publication server will have
to be updated (servers in read-only wouldn't matter). Publication
clients don't have to be updated unless using file:// publication.
You'd also need to start pkg.depotd with --rebuild after applying this
patch for your own private workspace so that the catalog would be
rebuilt with the action data in the correct part.
Finally, I do wonder about install-hold and renamed incorporations. If
an incorporation with install-hold is renamed, should it still have the
install-hold attribute in its terminal version?
