FWIW, it's also ignored in 10.2.8.
The problem I see is that I may want to prevent installing an
architecture which could be run in an emulation environment by the
user. This situation could lead to crashes of the application or the OS
for different reasons whereas the native architecture is working
perfectly well.

According to
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/
SoftwareDistribution/Concepts/sd_pkg_flags.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/
20001940:
-------8<-------------8<------------8<------------8<---------
IFPkgFlagInstallFat
optional
data type: BOOL
default value: No
example: Yes
If the binary contains code for multiple platforms, should Installer
install all of them? (If not, Installer strips out all but the code
necessary for the current platform.)
Important: If you are installing .o or .a files as part of your
package, they will be thinned along with any other binaries. To
prevent this outcome, set the value for this key to Yes.
-------8<-------------8<------------8<------------8<---------
How does it come that when IFPkgFlagInstallFat is set to false, a
Package installs both the PPC and i386 architecture of universal
binaries on a PowerPC PowerMac.
I saw that this flag is not supported in PackageMaker (XCode 2.2).
