That could be a bit tricky. They'd have to check after every package
install directive to see if there was a new BE and start writing to that
path instead. We're trying to dump OpenIndiana for Illumian because of
this, was open OmniOS's packages would be more friendly to the "suppress
new BE" flag that IPS takes.

We have a huge issue with this when bootstrapping a new server,
particularly around packages like ssh.
