Package names are prefixed by their author's identifier.
Every package prefixed by SUNW comes from Sun and should be either in the installation media or available from Sun.
Packages starting with SFW are also from Sun but are freewares available from either the Solaris installation or the Solaris Companion media.
Packages starting with SMC come from the Sunfreeware - Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for Sun Microsystem's Solaris site. They aren't the same as the previous.
I have no idea about packages starting with IS and NBS. They do not belong to well known sources of software. They might probably be custom packages made internally by some organization but unreleased to the public. Have a look at what they contain for clues, eg:

Hi,
This question is not for troubleshooting, but want to get some clarification. In few of our Solaris-10 x86 servers, there are no SUNWaccu and SUNWless packages, so sar is not present. These are old servers, so not sure, when and how these were build.
Now, there is a big push from application... (1 Reply)

dpkg-preconfigure
DPKG-PRECONFIGURE(8) Debconf DPKG-PRECONFIGURE(8)NAME
dpkg-preconfigure - let packages ask questions prior to their installation
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-preconfigure [options] package.deb
dpkg-preconfigure --apt
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-preconfigure lets packages ask questions before they are installed. It operates on a set of debian packages, and all packages that
use debconf will have their config script run so they can examine the system and ask questions.
OPTIONS -ftype, --frontend=type
Select the frontend to use.
-pvalue, --priority=value
Set the lowest priority of questions you are interested in. Any questions with a priority below the selected priority will be ignored
and their default answers will be used.
--terse
Enables terse output mode. This affects only some frontends.
--apt
Run in apt mode. It will expect to read a set of package filenames from stdin, rather than getting them as parameters. Typically this
is used to make apt run dpkg-preconfigure on all packages before they are installed. To do this, add something like this to
/etc/apt/apt.conf:
// Pre-configure all packages before
// they are installed.
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {
"dpkg-preconfigure --apt --priority=low";
};
-h, --help
Display usage help.
