illumian (formerly iCore) is a child of oi-build and other OI binary
packages, since oi-build doesn't cover the entire distribution yet. It
uses the same package metadata *and* data as OpenIndiana.

OI and illumos intend to migrate all of the common infrastructure from
oi-build to illumos-userland. Most likely, this means oi-build will be
basically renamed as OI remains responsible for the project. illumian
will branch from that to include Debian packaging specific changes.

oi-sfe is an unrelated project to deliver binaries from SFE.
