"If this element is not present, enable_anywhere is true, enable_currentUserHome is false, and enable_localSystem is true."
If the default value is what you need, then you don't need to include it. This explains why you were not facing any problem in 10.6 and 10.7 even without it.

As you have tried, probably 'auth' attribute became deprecated after 10.6 or 10.7 and is REQUIRED on 10.5. 
It is more of trial and error because there is not much documentation available about what works and what not.

Thanks,
Vikram

From the docs: "If this element is not present, enable_anywhere is

true."
Do I really need the domains element then?

However: adding the auth="root" in the pkg references did make the
package request the password on 10.5! So even though it is deprecated,
it seems like it is still needed to make the package work on 10.5!
