Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition (AAMEE) has the same problem. The /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Profiles and /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Recommended FOLDER ALIASES get converted to actual FOLDERS. This causes the AAMEE generated PKG to fail when pushed to target computers. Adobe is aware of the AAMEE issue and I believe they are working to resolve it. In the old days we used FileScripter Pro and InstallerVISE (both were bundled with NetOctopus) to create packages. That combo did not have a problem with aliases.
