PackageMaker does not support resource forks, and does not support aliases, AFAIK. It's not particularly wondeful. Also, it's dangerous, see the articles on Stepwise.

We also need to do some upgrades where some files will be updated and some

There are also some cases where there is a need to install some aliases at
some specific locations of the hard disk...

I guess the question now is: Does Apple plan to have a serious and complete
documentation of "PackageMaker" one day ? Do they want the developers to use
that tool to make the greatest installers on OSX or do they want to keep
this tool for themselves and let the "outside world" use other tools like
Aladdin's InstallerMaker or Mindvision's Installer Vise ?
