Hi Stephane,

I misunderstood your question before. Anyway, I always use productsign to sign the packages so I didn't test the installer signed by packagemaker on any other machine. After signing the package, when I run the installer, it shows the small lock sign on top-right corner denoting that it is signed. 
After your question, I tried it on a different machine where the certificates were not installed and it didn't work saying that the certificate used to sign the installer was invalid. (For installer signed using packagemaker)
Apparently, packagemaker is not signing the package properly. Its safe to use productsign as of now.

Thanks,
Vikram

To clarify my question, does the installation/verification of the
package work on a system without the WWDR certificate installed?
