This option/requirement is not supported at this time by the Packages
application.

So this would require to edit the distribution script (file) once you
have built it (if it's a bundle distribution, you just need to edit
the file, if it's a flat distribution, you would need to expand it and
then flatten it)

As mentioned, this option/requirement has been added somehow recently
to the distribution script features so it probably requires Mac OS X
10.6.6 or later. I thought the minimum OS version was listed in the
official documentation but the "Availability" info is missing.
