joyent-mdata-client replaces a bash script that has traditionally on SmartOS instances resided in /lib/smartdc. On non-Cloud-init booted systems, this file is required to get the meta-data. The inclusion of the link in /lib/smartdc is for historical reasons and to support users that have written scripts against it.
