I wrote an email a while ago explaining how to remove the relocation info from a package after it's built: Here is a shell script for "bundle" format installer packages which might help:
defaults write FOO.pkg/Contents/Info IFPkgFlagRelocatable -bool NO
As for "flat" packages, you could do this:
pkgutil --expand FOO.pkg FOO.pkgsrc
perl -i -pe 's/relocatable\s*=\s*"true"/relocatable="false"/' FOO.pkgsrc/PackageInfo
pkgutil --force --flatten FOO.pkgsrc FOO.pkg
These hacks "slam" the relocatable flag to false.
They're "hacks" because they "know" the format of the bundle and flat packages. Package Formats are not officially documented. On the other hand, Installer.app in 10.5.5 still installs packages from 10.1 era (late 2001), so it'll probably be a while before the hacks stop working.
Anyway, this might be enough to get your problem solved sufficiently that you can get back to writing software.
