I agree. The move away from installing a separate command line tool - even if that was just a link - was very counterintuitive. I had actually tried launching the PackageMaker from the app bundle before posting to this list, but it would always just launch the GUI. There are no usage messages displayed unless you invoke PackageMaker with an argument -- and it must be an argument that it recognizes (e.g., "PackageMaker --version" will just launch the GUI without any indication that there is a command line tool embedded in the same executable).
Thanks everyone for your help.

I've searched inside the PackageMaker.app bundle itself, as well as in the Xcode.app bundle - it's not in either of these as far as I can tell. I've also tried installing the Command Line Tools for XCode, but I cannot find it after installing that either.

Well, in a proper place where you expect to find command line tools, and don't have to dig around random bundles… :/
