How to make PKG run at reboot

Not applicable

I was under the impression that if I put a pkg installer in a config that it would run at reboot but apparently I'm wrong about that. Does anyone know of a way to do this. I know I can create a custom trigger and a policy that will do the install, but that just seams messy. I would like to just have someone check the installer in Imaging and have in install at reboot.

The reason I want to do this is because many pkg installers have pre and postflight scripts that do various things and are based off of the booted volume. For instance, with ADmit Mac you can create a custom installation that will join the domain automatically, but this can't be done unless you are booted into the target disk. Their postflight script also does a bunch of other things and since their deployment tool packages this all up as a pkg I would like to keep it that way since it's cleaner and easier.

Any ideas?
