It's a free tool, give me a break with your whining.
Installer plugins is a poorly documented feature but if you had
looked a the one and only sample from Apple ("Plugins are only
supported in Mac OS X Tiger (v10.4) and later.") or searched through
the mailing list you would've realized this. I did.
It's Apple's way of helping you and your users to say goodbye to 10.3.

So in other words, a separate installer solution such as VISE or
InstallerMaker is a quicker solution if one already has an
elaborate installer for 10.4 using Packagemaker and lots of custom
plugins.
Thanks Apple - make me build two separate installers for my product
in order to support both 10.3 & 10.4 - that's very nice of you.
Next product I'll write my own installer from scratch that supports
both. What junk Apple is shipping these days.

So how does one then go about creating any kind of a custom
installer using Packagemaker on a 10.3 system?
In 10.3, you can add custom code at InstallationCheck,
VolumeCheck, pre- and post-flight script phases.
You cannot add more installation panels/pages without doing
something really unpleasant such as overriding ObjectiveC code.
This has nothing to do with PackageMaker itself. It's just that
the Installer.app in 10.3 does not support as much stuff as it
does in 10.4.
