Good comparison. In case (4) this means the file is first moved
from /opt/csw/etc/foo.conf to /etc/opt/csw/foo.conf and then symlinked?
So it is more like (2)+(4).

Sounds for me as the best thing to do. The symlink shouldn't be
in the package but generated during postinstall with errors ignored
because if /etc/opt/csw is lofs'ed to /opt/csw/etc the symlink would
point to itself and generation would fail as would the complete package
install.


Best regards
