[Regression?] distribution vs Info.plist

It looks like there is a regression with the distribution format when compared to the Info.plist format.

Let's say your ReadMe message is in a file.

With the distribution format, you can't have a different format for different languages since the name of the file is to be the same. You can do this with the Info.plist format.

Example:

I have 2 localizations for the ReadMe: Klingon and Galactic Basic.

The Klingon localized readme file is a .txt file.

The Galactic Basic localized readme file is a rtfd document.

With the distribution format, assuming you're using files, you need to write something like this:

<readme file="myfilename"/>

You can't set the extension because they are different depending on the localizations.

While this would work if you had a .txt and .rtf file, it will not here because when you remove the .rtfd extension to a .rtfd document, Installer.app is not able to recognize the bundle file to be a rtfd document.

If you were using the Info.plist file, you would just add the 2 files to the appropriate .lproj folder, keep the extension and everything would work fine.

Am I missing something?
