I tend to remember it was in a 10.4.x release. I don't remember exactly if it was x=0 or x>0. Anyway, on Mac OS X 10.2.8 for instance, /Contents/Resources/<Language>.lproj wins over /Contents/Resources for packages. I made a simple package that illustrates this. On Mac OS X 10.4.x and later (where w is unknown), /Contents/Resources wins over /Contents/Resources/<Language>.lproj. So, yes, it's best to avoid using /Contents/Resources when you have some localized versions in /Contents/Resources/<Language>.lproj. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Although the docs I read (admittedly, a while ago) told me to dump the default .rtf in the root of the Resources folder, I had the same issue. Moving it to the english.lproj folder corrected this issue for me. Now, whatever language the user runs the installer in, they get the correct language.
