I also thought that the MetaPackage might not do authorization and instead defer to the included Packages. However, I built a MetaPackage with NoAuthorization (couldn't find out how to adjust the authorization in the project GUI), that includes packages with RootAuthorization, and I get Installer log warnings about NoAuthorization being promoted to RootAuthorization for the MetaPackage.
I don't know how to adjust the authorization from the MetaPackage project GUI, and I'm reluctant to manually hack keys unless I find out that this is the suggested workaround. Also, I'm not able to use Distributions, since there is a "Missing identifier field for SubPackage.pkg" bug preventing me from building Distributions via the command line (see below thread).

I've seen this one (but I don't remember the OS version or platform).
What looks strange is that, AFAIK, a metapackage does not deal with the authorization but determines which one is required from the packages it includes. But maybe this has changed with Distribution list.
