It's a simple format, basically a dir with the .pkg extension that contains the 
compressed appdir of the package to be installed inside a directory hierarchy 
that reflects the one that will be used when an installation location is 
defines during install time and some other files that give info to the 
installer.

See http://www.bangmoney.org/nextstep/packages_1.html for a description.

The Mac OSX package format is based on this one, although with more options.
