I at least appreciate the time they take to answer questions on this
list. Such comments are not constructive nor appropriate.

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 Installer and everything goes away. It probably ignores any

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.
