When my package delivers a manifest into /var/svc/manifest, it is required to deliver directory entries for /var, /var/svc, and /var/svc/manifest. I'm not sure what happens when you install my package onto a system where one of those is a symlink. I think the symlink gets removed and replaced by a directory, but I'm not sure. Packages really shouldn't be required to deliver all of the directories that they depend on, but I believe pkgmk enforces that today.
