It is definitely a mixed message... It needs to be at the very least
consistent. I've raised it with someone and will attempt to pursue it.
As bbum said, the issues with Installer packages are the need for
authentication, and the inability to specify where it should be
installed if it is a simple application.

The poster didn't say why he assumes the Software Delivery Guide to
be more
authoritative. The only evidence I'm aware of is that the Software
Delivery
Guide was last updated over two years ago, in July 2006, before
Leopard was
released. The PackageMaker User Guide is a year newer, and it states
that it
applies to Leopard. On that evidence, I'm more inclined to think the
PackageMaker User Guide is authoritative with respect to Leopard.
