IIUC, there are problems with the size -- IIUC, it won't grow which
means that it'll be bigger than needed, which also means that we need
a template DMG for each distribution kind which is 9 DMGs at the
moment ({PPC,Intel,x86_64} and three for each -- textual, normal,
full), and these DMGs need to live somewhere out of the repository.

The AppleScript thing looks more robust, but I'm not sure if it can
work when I'l not logged into the machine properly.  It's sshing to
the packaging machine, which means that I don't have the Finder thing
running.  Anyone knows if this is a problem?

Yes.  I wouldn't rely on some emulation driver with these things...
