Nothing special about them, they're just ordinary scripts, written in
the scripting language of your choice. Bash, tcsh, perl, python - take
your pick. Just be sure that the language you choose is on your target
systems - IIRC, Bash and Python are only included "out of the box" with
10.2 or newer.
Please help with locations of documentation or sample scripts that
PackageMaker would use.
That depends on the language you want to use to create it. For bash or
tcsh, I'd suggest starting with the man pages. Perl and Python both have
lots of documentation available - start at perl.org or python.org.

Each language has its purpose, however humble. Each language expresses
the Yin and Yang of software. Each language has its place within the Tao.
But do not program in COBOL if you can avoid it.
