You could put a disable_fmri tag on the pkg.fmri set action, and have your work done in the stop method, but I don't know that there's any way to distinguish the case of a package being removed from the machine being shut down gracefully. So that won't be robust unless you're willing to set up and tear down your data on each boot cycle. We could probably tweak IPS to set a property on the fmri it was about to tweak to indicate a) that it was being tweaked by IPS and b) under what circumstances, and the service could make decisions based on the value of that property. I'm not sure how else this could be done.
