Installer project directory clarifications

I want to make a single-package installer that contains all my product's files but I also want to be able to have that package be deliverable in a Managed Install via Apple Remote Desktop 3.

The Software Delivery Guide is a little unclear as to exactly which installer packages can and cannot be delivered via this method.

In the fourth chapter it says "Packages contain a product or a product components", but then later on page 31 the directory hierarchy appears to require a separate "component" directory for each component in the install. What if I only want one package but multiple component directories in that package?

So my two questions are:

1) What is the proper directory hierarchy for a single project directory full of a variety of product files for a single package and

2) is the directory hierarchy listed on page 31 mandatory - that is, does the installer actually read the directory hierarchy and then execute the other items such as "extras" at runtime?

Thanks,

Mike
