+1 to that.  When I was first getting comfortable with oi-userland and
the PR submission process, I knew it was OK to take inspiration from
other Illumos distros, but I wasn't certain if it was OK to also use
solaris-userland.  Aurélien and Alexander confirmed that it's fine to
look at that repo to see how they've approached building and packaging
a particular component.
