I am actually using Iceberg to create the package. The format is the default pkg format that Iceberg outputs.

I will see if I can work out the metapackage method.

Thanks
Mark

Which package format?
IIRC, there is an undocumented trick to do this prior to flat package. This would require to look in the list archives.

Anyway, considering it's only one file, whatever the format is, a possible solution is to go with a distribution script or a metapackage.

You create a specific package for this file. You set an installation requirement so that the package will not install if the file is already there.
