AFAIK, you do not need to change your preflight and postflight scripts.

- You just need to take into account that they are not called pre and
post-installation scripts.
- You can benefit from a new feature in flat packages that lets you
attach a pre/post-installation script to a bundle. This removes the
issue of having to figure out where the bundle gets actually installed
by using the appropriate environment variable.

BUT:

- If you are using pre/post install or pre/post upgrade scripts in
your bundle package, there's nothing like it in a flat package. And
this requires changes.
