If it breaks in the future I will re-write it as I usually end up
re-writing things anyway to work around Apple's lack of features and
lack of documentation.
Or maybe if the Installer/Packagemaker docs actually *mentioned* when
Installer closes the package, that would be helpful in making this
decision also. But that's too much to expect from a 'world-class'
company such as Apple. The PackageMaker docs are abysmal BTW. I would
fire whomever wrote them.
OR
Maybe if Apple included a simple feature such as this in PackageMaker,
we wouldn't even be wasting our time on this discussion. How hard would
it be for Installer.app and PackageMaker's engineers to include a single
checkbox in PackageMaker named "Delete package after intsall"? Since the
Installer is the one who does the package manipulation, only it knows
when it is safe to move/delete a package.
Don't blame me - I have to work around your laziness.

My guess is in Installer.app when "Restart" is clicked it just quits

Don't guess. You've got two of Apple's installer engineers telling you
not to rely on that behavior. You won't get much sympathy if you do it
anyway and it breaks in the future.
