When PackageMaker creates your package, it will be creating it as a distribution package rather than a metapackage because it has requirements in it etc... There are 3 types of package, all the info can be found here;
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/Softw areDistribution/Introduction/chapter_1_section_1.html
In a distribution package, requirement checking is carried out by a XML and Javascript file called a .dist file which resides in the Contents folder of your package. When you add requirements in PackageMaker, it generates them into the .dist file as Javascript functions. More info on the XML .dist file and a Javascript reference can be found here;

Once PackageMaker creates these .dist files, it can often require some manual intervention to correct it's mistakes :o)
