Sounds like incorrect permissions are being specified for the bundles when importing them into the Packages project. My guess is that the files on the development system are owned by a specific user (such has the user that created them), and that user doesn’t exist on the system that the files are being deployed to. If that’s the case, I would start by trying to use more global permissions such as being owned by root with a group of wheel, admin, or staff. Another option would be to install them into a temp directory, and then have a postnatal script move them to a specific user (such as the current console user’s) home folder, and set them to be owned by that user. I’ll also add (separately, as I doubt it will address the issue at play), that it may make sense to create multiple component packages, to provide additional install options. One example of this would be to install the main app with one component, and then the modules folder (if not each individual module) as a separate component. You could then wrap all of those various components into a single distribution package with various custom install choices. This would have the additional benefit to allow you to test individual component packages independent of the larger installation process.
