Assigned value can be true or false. The default value is false. The package is not required to be installed, but if it is installed, the setting of SUNW_PKG_HOLLOW has the effects described below.FWIW, I think this translates as "we need the pkginfo to be present so that package dependencies can be met in the nonglobal zones, but we don't want the actual software installed there." That would translate literally as "global zone variant tags on everything except for the legacy actions."
That's no longer necessary with pkg(5) as you can use zone variants on dependencies.
With that said, delivering legacy actions for SVr4 compatibility is a different story.
