The zpoolupgrade rc script has "KEYWORD: firstboot" so it is only
executed when the ${firstboot_sentinel} file exists, it works in the
same way as growfs and zpoolreguid rc scripts. I've been thinking
renaming these to firstboot_* as others provided by
sysutils/firstboot-* from ports, but I think it's also fine to keep
the consistency for now.
Best,
