It's sorta documented here:
<https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/ToolsLanguages/Conceptual/OSXWorkflowGuide/DistributingApplicationsOutside/DistributingApplicationsOutside.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011201-CH12-SW3>
"Code sign the resulting package with your Developer ID Installer certificate by using the productsign command"
It could be more forceful, ie "you must use productsign".
As for Packages.app, it's hard to know on the surface whether it uses productsign or not (it doesn't, but should.)

Yes, no doubt deliberately so, to get everyone running scared into their walled garden. But I digress...
