The IPS docs give an example of doing this, so I think you're wrong.

<http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/2008.11/IMGPACKAGESYS/ipsdev.html>

The example could be a bit clearer IMO, eg it could include a template  
for a one-shot service, but it sure looks like it is describing what  
you want.

pkg-discuss may be a better place for discussing this.
