You have made an app. Apple's technologies have no way of knowing, nor any reason to care, that what your app does is "install" stuff. It's an app. You sign it with the Developer ID Application identity.
Installer packages, anything which is effectively a document for Installer.app or the installer command-line tool, should be signed with the Developer ID Installer identity.
Another way of putting this is: you use the Application identity with the codesign tool, you use the Installer identity with the productsign tool.
