If you insist on packaging existing system directories into your package, then you'll have to be sure that you get the owners, groups, and permissions correct on those directories. And if Apple changes them (or any other developer doing the same thing), then there will be inconsistencies, and users will need to use repair permissions (which more or less just looks at Apple packages to settle the disagreements.) So what's the purpose of "Overwrite Directory Permissions" checkbox in PackageMaker? This doesn't make sense for me. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
