Hello, again.
I thought about the various options which were presented when the
"Relocation..." button on the bottom of the PackageMaker window was clicked.
) I searched if there was a document for this, but I couldn't find.)
It has 5 different options :
1. Check specific path : check if the interested file is already
installed at the "specific path". If so, it upgrades the file by
replacing the existing one with the new one supplied in the
installer package. If not, it just installs the new one at the
"specific path".
2. Check Launch Services : check launch service configuration to
figure out where the "executables" are.
3. Exhaustive Search : searches every thing, even in other installer
packages and the one in Xcode's build directory. ( Still sounds
like too much.. )
4. Combination Search : combination of above 3? ( how about the 5
below? ) ( This is the default. )
5. JavaScript Search : Where to search, what to search and so on are
supplied with a given JavaScript function. (Oh.. so "combination
search" doesn't include this. )
In my opinion, "1" should be the default, not the "4", and "4" is too
much. The Exhaustive search done by the "4" should contain paths to
existing installer packages and build directory in its hidden "Exclude
Directories" option. ( It looks to me that it just uses the options set
in "3". but I didn't test it. )

Try unchecking the relocatable checkbox.
