packagemaker vs symlinks?

Are there known issues with the command-line packagemaker (3.0.3) and symlinks in the package root?

When I try to build a package that installs some symlinks that point to places out on our organization's NFS mounts, sits forever at the Preverifying step:

root# /Developer/usr/bin/packagemaker --root /var/folders/zz/ zzzivhrRnAmviuee+++F7E++2GI/-Tmp-/tmpkDyZpN/Leopard_DA_NFS_additions -- id com.disneyanimation.Leopard_DA_NFS_additions --no-recommend --out / Users/Shared/pkgs/Leopard_DA_NFS_additions.pkg --verbose

2009-06-04 10:53:22.982 packagemaker[31581:807] relocate: (null) 0

Eventually I grow impatient and control-C it.

If I clear out the symlinks in the packageroot and then build, it builds fine, but completely misses the point. Is packagemaker traversing the symlinks in the packageroot? I don't see a --no-follow type option in packagemaker's command-line options.
