Apple's official guidelines are to use a .dmg if all the installer needs to
do is copy files.  Otherwise a .pkg is required to run install scripts.  I
don't believe you can write to any folder but /Applications with a .dmg
(which gets an exception for writing by non-root users).

If DMD does need to run scripts or install to somewhere other than
/Applications I highly recommend using Iceberg instead of PackageMaker
(which in my opinion is absolutely terrible).
