Apple is recommending installer packages instead of drag-and-drop
installation of app bundles? Since when? Can you point to any docs
about this?
Looks like the documentation writers changed their minds about this: <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/PackageMakerUserGuide/Introduction/chapter_1_section_1.html

It used to say there that installation packages were recommended over
drag & drop. Now, looking at the latest HI guidelines, it looks like
DnD installs are favored once again.
It's a double-edged sword anyway. DnD installs are popular with Mac
and NeXT veterans who are used to them, but they tend to confuse
newbies and Windows switchers. Installers are way more popular with
newbies and switchers, but are seen as insulting to some Mac/NeXT
veterans, especially if only a single component gets installed. So you
go with whatever makes your users most comfortable...
