One might think that such Install packages should have some way
of verifying that the Installer running them supports all their
requirements ...


One might think that people should follow instructions and that Apple
shouldn't have to worry about stopping people who ignore the
directions from shooting themselves in the feet.

Actually, verification is not a bad thing. I remember well having problems in the early days of Tiger because my disk had both a Tiger partition and a Panther partition.

But when booted to Tiger, double-click on a package would launch Installer on the Panther volume, and much unhappiness ensued. I was trying to do the right thing and was following all the instructions I had.
