I use the $USER variable in my scripts to get to the user’s home directory.

For instance, say I’m installing a preferences file with a serial number for a particular app, but it needs to be in their ~/Library/ Preferences folder.
I’d install it to /private/tmp/somefolder/ from PackageMaker
Then have a postscript that moves the file to /Users/$USER/Library/ Preferences/

I use $HOME to get the user's home directory so the postscript becomes $HOME/Library/Preferences/
