<font size="3" face="Lucida Grande">That is exactly what I was running into. I was trying to get it to create a blank package so I could just drag in the essentials into one package, then drag in iMovie into the next, so on and so forth. Now, If I make a garage band package though off my prebuilt, and look at it's contents, I does seem to appear to have everything garage band needs but I am not sure. It grabs the application and everything out of /Library/Documentation/Applications/iPhoto and out of /Library/Receipts...?</font> </p>
