You could also use a text file listing the packages and process that, so that packages get installed in the order you wish (if any depend on others)...which is what we used to do with our NetRestore single_computer.txt file.....which had a list of packages for that computer and read that in and processed it in a loop to install listed packages.

Matter of fact, we used to mount a network share, and use the installer command to install packages from that text list located on that share.....
share="/Volumes/mypackages"
package="whatever you do to get the package name"
installer -package "$share/$package"
or something like that. Kept everything nice and neat and in one place and easy to update the package without having to change anything else.
