Just wanted to point out that:
1) psd pictures are not compatible with older OS versions. Stephane would know better than I, but Apple likes to use compressed tiff files with transparency.


2) Resources which are not localized (such as background pictures) can go in the Resources folder, not the localized folder. This will save some download size.

For instance, like this:
MyInstaller.mpkg
   Contents
       distribution.dist
       Packages
               MyPackage.pkg
       Resources
		background.tif
               en.lproj
                       Localizable.strings
               fr.lproj
                       Localizable.strings
               (... etc for other languages)
