I ran into the same problem when I upgraded to XCode 3. It seems that
the new package maker doesn't support the creation of metapackages
anymore (Metapackages were deprecated with the introduction of
Distribution packages along about Mac OS X 10.4).
I worked around it by keeping a copy of the old package maker
application fro XCode 2 around.
I did find that I was able to eliminate a whole lot of scripting from
my build when I switched to using the new Distribution packages, so
I'm only using the old version for legacy projects now.

I'm trying to build a metapackage from the command line and can't seem
to figure out how to do it. I have several packages in a 'packages'
subdirectory, each of which install when run independently. I'm
calling packagemaker with the following options:
packagemaker --root ./packages --out py4science-pack.mpkg --id
edu.berkeley.py4science
It builds, has a size ~20M, it 'runs' (steps through the dialog,
asking for password, etc...) but nothing gets installed.
What am I missing?
Thanks!
