I have seen plenty of examples of installers removing (as well as adding, obviously) files during upgrades, but I haven't investigated whether those removals were driven by scripts or the package payload. I tend to see a lot of talk about reliance on scripts for upgrades and I want to know whether that is really necessary or not.

Yes, scripting is the way to go for doing these kind of changes. And note that 'local domain' is much easier to do in a reasonable way from the application and not from the installer, for things like: -multiple users -FileVault home directories -users created after your package was run -remote user directories [where user folder isn't available until they log it] -and even more! _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
