That's not quite correct;  the BFU archives and the packages contain the
*same* subset of the proto area.  You do get more than in a full installation,
though, since some of the packages aren't delivered into Solaris.

(That's one of the side-effects of cpiotranslate, which fixes up the
owner/group data to match the packages -- it also removes files that aren't
in any package)
