You can create Flat packages with PackageMaker, you need to change
your OS target from 10.4 to 10.5.
Instead of getting a bundle for the .pkg, you will get a file (which
is actually a xar archive that includes the payload, bom, metadata,
the scripts and extra resources).
Something to take into account. With Flat packages, you don't have
pre/postflight, pre/postupgrade,pre/postinstall scripts. You just have
preinstall and postinstall scripts which are the equivalents of the
preflight and postflight scripts.
Also, if you need to find the location of some secondary scripts,
extra resources in your package from a preinstall or postinstall
script, you should not be surprised that the location is a temporary
one.
You will not get a "visible" receipt for your packages upon
installation. pkgutil has to be used.
That being said, the issue you describe might be worth using a
technical incident with Apple before switching to flat packages if no
solution is suggested from the members of this list or other lists you
posted on.
