I don't think installing both and cleaning up unwanted files will
solve my problem. Both versions install the same files, just
different versions. Also, I can't even get a functional metapackage
with two component packages that have the same package identifier
(com.company.pkg.product). Having the same identifier in both seems
important for upgrade scenarios.

I'm trying to build a metapackage that installs version A of a

component, everything seems to work properly, but PackageMaker
seems to require that each package has a different package
identifier, even if the package version is different. If I
manually edit the identifiers to be the same, opening the
metapackage causes Installer to return an error ("Operation could
not be completed. com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1").
Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? After a
successful install, the package receipt has the package identifier
shown in PackageMaker, which I expect will cause problems with
upgrades.
Thanks,

PackageMaker 3.0.1
How about install both and remove the one that isn't needed? Use a
postflight script that determines OS version and deletes appropriate
files?
From Bombich set-names.sh script:
defaults read "$1"/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion
ProductVersion | awk -F. '{print $2}'
Prints middle number in 10.5.6 OS version. For example, 10.5.6 would
print 5. 10.4.11 would print 4.
