I was also thinking about whether I could get an mpkg preinstall to

Scratch that one off the list. It doesn't work unfortunately. I can
modify the Info.plist of the sub-pkg with a preflight in the mpkg,
but it doesn't get picked up, as they must all get parsed before the
preflight runs. It works happily the second time you install the
pkg, so I guess I could make an empty pkg that modified another pkg
plist and installed it as part of one of the scripts, but that's not
a particularly pleasant feeling workaround.
Even if it "worked," it wouldn't work when (not if) you distribute
your installer on read-only media.
