Also, Apple's built-in installer package management is only an installer, not a package manager.
I'm not talking about Apple's *installer*, I'm talking about Apple's bundles and frameworks. Bundles and frameworks don't overwrite anything, because they're self-contained. You don't need an installer, you don't need an uninstaller, and LaunchServices and the like basically figure out where things are by inspection of the plist files.
Apple's *installer* is clumsy, but the packages it ends up installing are very very nice.
