For bundle packages, and flat distribution archives, inside each

The key "IFPkgDescriptionTitle" is displayed by the installer.
As far as I know, there is no Description.plist file for flat
packages because the localized title is defined by the description
script and the Localized.strings file.
Just out of curiosity, I tried adding a localized Description.plist
file to a flat packages. As far as I can tell, it's not taken into
account by Installer.app.
I haven't tried to verify if the localized choice title is used
during the installation but it would make no sense considering that a
leaf choice can contains multiple packages.
Anyway, it wouldn't change the whole string, just the part after
"Installing" because the template string is "Installing %@" as it
looks like to be defined in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
Install.framework/Versions/A/Resources/English.lproj/
StatusStrings.strings

I'm looking for ways to customize the installation progress

package installation.
The default is to use the last part of the package identifier.
This isn't always what we want, and it'd be great if we could
change the whole message in some cases. For example we have a
scripts-only target which should probably say something like
"Preparing for installation", rather than "Installing pre-install"
I didn't run across anything in the official documents, but then
that's often the case, even for things which are doable.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions on this.
