Peter,
My package does not include an /Applications directory. The only place I have /Applications is in the Default Location field. For the Docs, I use /Library/Documentation/Applications as my Default Location field.
Thanks,
Bob

Your package is including these filesystem objects, and the Admin authorization is causing the installer to use the data in your package to change the system.
For example, your package should not include an '/Applications'
directory, it should instead have a default location of '/Applications'.
