Here's a much easier way. Use this AppleScript to automate the process.
Open the script editor and type in the following, save as a "drop on"
application.
>AppleScript for drag n drop change to packages ala "PackType"
on open (theList)
tell application "Finder"
repeat with x in theList
copy file type obsolete of x to FileTypeOfDroppedDoc
set creator type of x to "1NCU"
set file type of x to "pkg "
end repeat
end tell
end open
Or just get PackType. Available on UNNA.
