Since the plist is just one small file, another way to do it might be to drop the custom plist into the resources folder of the pkg bundle (no paxing required) and use a postflight script to copy it into place after the rest of the payload has been deployed the normal way.

Or, as someone else mentioned, you could target 10.4 (with the installer package, not the application) to make the template archive format more amenable to munging.

That sounds like exactly what I would like to do, but I'm not quite sure how to copy the plist into the package. I was looking at using pax, but since I'm targeting Leopard, and developing on Leopard, package maker keeps making metapackages, which pax doesn't seem to understand, and I can't find out the equivelent of the old "Show Package Contents."

So far it seems o be the metapackages screwing me up.  Any thoughts?
