IIRC Apple deprecated PackageMaker and no longer distributes it
with Xcode.  The preferred method of packaging on OS X is now
with the DragNDrop generator.  Users see a .dmg that they mount
and view in Finder.  Finder shows the .app and a symlink to the
/Applications folder.  The user needs only to drag the .app to
the Applications symlink (or anywhere else they want to install
it).
