You can add packages that have no files in their payload and that will
only run a pre-installation or post-installation script.
You just need to make sure to put the one that runs the script before
all installation at the top of the list in the Presentation >
Installation Type step and the one that runs the script after all
other ones at the end of the same list.
Then you can set them to be required and invisible.
Side note: from what I've experienced, the order in which packages
will be installed is guaranteed but I've been told this may not be so
when you have a remote package involved (I haven't checked that yet).
