I would say it's a bug of the PackageKit framework that does not
perform the same installation procedure depending on the extension
whereas it should only rely on the contents of the xar archive
hierarchy to decide what to do.
- If you build a bundle distribution and use the .mpkg extension, the
installation behaves correctly.
- If you build a flat distribution and use the .pkg extension, the
installation behaves correctly.
- If you build a flat distribution and use the .mpkg extension, the
installation does not behave correctly according to the log.
I would suggest filing a bug report on Radar so that the problem gets
eventually fixed.
That being said, as far as I know, PackageMaker always used .mpkg for
bundle distributions and .pkg for flat distributions. That's what
other tools also do.
