yes. (pcp, on both debian and ubuntu). and I think there was one other
hit for "pcp package", but unfortunately, I dont recall what it was
about.

seems like that is good news, and bad news.
most of what we do, is provide "general packages, that solaris lacks".
That is to say, the majority of people using our packages, use them to
get stuff on solaris, that they are already used to having elsewhere.

So seems to me, that the majority of people looking for "pcp", would
be expecting the more general interpretation, not the solaris specific
