Packages and kext on 10.6 and 10.7

	Hello all.
I am trying to use Packages to build installer containing kext under both 10.6 and 10.7+ system, and ran into some problem.

Under 10.6, codesign utility does create some extra symlinks inside application, like
CodeResources -> _CodeSignature/CodeResources for application bundle,
or for kext
CodeDirectory -> _CodeSignature/CodeDirectory
CodeRequirements -> _CodeSignature/CodeRequirements
CodeResources -> _CodeSignature/CodeResources
CodeSignature -> _CodeSignature/CodeSignature

Under 10.7 no such symlinks are created.

I had added the kext to the project, made the "Expand all" to be sure every component does have "root:wheel" ownership. Now, if i try to build package under 10.7, "packagesbuild" utility complains it can not find symlinks.
How should I fix this issue, can I make Packages not to bind to particular files inside of the kext bundle and just copy it "as is"? If i remove and re-add it, without expanding, would it guarantee to set valid ownership for the whole hierarchy?
Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
Rustam Muginov
