As i said on [Issue 63630] "Use Installable Package (.pkg) for
OpenOffice.org Mac", i'm totally for the drag and drop from the dmg,
because of its simplicity and its mac style. So i +1 Shaun's
proposition. The first start wizard is meant to do configuring things,
we would have done in the package installation.
BUT, we can use .pkg to install extra-features for OOo, like the
spotlight plugin which needs root rights to be installed, i.e. the user
drag'n drops OOo.app, and if he wants extra plugins (e.g. spotlight
plugin), he installs the .pkg
For more informations, see the discussion we have in the issue 63630 (

I think the problem with Mac users not knowing the Applications folder
is a lot less of a problem now that it is in the the Finder Sidebar by
default. Even my mother knows what the Applications folder (mind you, it
is something that I have taught her so that she can then open other
applications). I personally really hate installers that restart the dock
or place icons in the dock, especially without asking. I do most of my
application launching through QuickSilver.
A first start assistant to do these things would be the best thing.
