Those symlinks and resource fork are all owned by root everywhere
(system, package root, and in the pmdoc xml file). It confuses the
heck out of me. I decided not to include it because of security
concerns, but I now think the concerns might not be warranted (if
any of you think otherwise, PLEASE let me know). The 2.1.0.1
package includes the resource fork in the package now.
I can't speak for the resource fork, but the symlink ownership is
benign. On Mac OS X, symlinks' ownership and modes are not enforced
-- only those of the target file.
