; That's actually an interesting idea.  I was thinking of "optional" as one possibility, but I'm noticing that type=group and type=optional appear, in practice, to be the same.  Apparently when you uninstall a group package, it's added to the image's avoid list.  For you anti-sendmail types, that may be a feature.  :)

sendmail is already an optional dependency of mailwrapper which is itself
required by SUNWcs. So if fresh installs aren't getting sendmail then
optional is not doing what you want here :(
I'm not sure if group would be any better.
