PackageMaker Problem

I have two packages which are related, but not the same problem. A 
server component and a client component. I have configured the 
packages to use different package identifiers however as soon as I 
install one package any previous installation of the related package 
is removed. It seems like the Installer is finding the related package 
and considers the install to be an upgrade and removes any previously 
installed files. The result is that I can only have one or the other 
package installed at any point in time.

Looking in the installer Log shows:

Jan 18 02:10:04 Wolf Installer[944]: Address Book Server Client

The documentation mentions that the package identifier should be 
unique however it still seems to be able to construct a match for it.

Any suggestion on what I need to configure for both packages to be 
installed at the same time.

Kind regards
