Right, any resources used by the pkg need to be included in the xar too.
And they're all "distributions", so don't use the exact same format...

If I recall correctly, it goes in "Scripts" ?

PackageMaker.app *should* take care of it...

Scripts: ASCII cpio archive (pre-SVR4 or odc) (gzip compressed data, from Unix)

Then that pax archive has the actual scripts.
