I was recently trying to figure out how packaging works. I looked at
Sun provided ssh packages. For instance, pkgmap of SUNWsshdr has this
line:

1 f manifest var/svc/manifest/network/ssh.xml 0444 root sys 2982 52600 110635026

Is it a static prototype file entry? This file is present on
non-global zones as well as on the global zone. If it isn't a static
prototype entry, how does it get to non-global zones?
