IIRC, the powertop package has a checkinstall script, if the script detects
the powertop dtrace probe is not available, the installation will abort.

But anyway, it's sort of unreasonable to put powertop into solaris8,
solaris9 package collections.

I agree it's unreasonable to put powertop into S[89] collection, I'm
expecting the resolution to be its removal (from 8 9).

PowerTOP has already been integrated into ON bits. This software depends on
the dtrace probe in the solaris kernel, even on Solaris 10, different build
has different implementation. So, Can we remove it at all? Otherwise, the
mis-matched use could confuse the user.
