Well, possibly, but you may well have to redo things as the packaging
changes, so it might be more work than it's worth in the end. ;)

Well, the other side of the coin is that you install now, get it all
working, then have to just re-install and get it working again when the
packaging is done. Of course there might not be too many changes from
the packaging side that require redoing things. I'm not sure where the
packaging is sitting at this point. 

So, I would say: 

* How far out does the packaging look? Is it getting close? or still
  much to do? 

* How close is whatever you would install today to what the final
  packaging will be? Just the same thing but split out into seperate
  packages?
