Gatekeeper and downloading packages

Hello 

My Distribution refers to component packages that are downloaded by a plugin later in the installation. Though both distribution (mpkg) and component packages are correctly signed, Gatekeeper assessment fails. I suspect Gatekeeper evaluates all the pieces right after user double clicks on the package, and if some part is not signed or is not there yet (my case) - the assessment fails.I am 95% sure this is a limitation we have to leave with, but perhaps someone knows a workaround (except creating an own installer)?

Another question is what is the best place to store component packages downloaded by my plugin? 
I noticed that if Distribution contains http URL to packages, Installer keeps them in /tmp folder. But wouldn't it better to store them in "~/Downloads"? But I am not sure how to set this in Distribution file (and if it's really possible).

Thanks!
/ Natalia
