Yes, one .dmg is also fine with me. We shouldn’t put anything into the bundle that a user can change (like adding his own symbol to a predefined library, etc.). If the changes are stored in files inside the bundle itself then they will just get lost when a user tries to update the usual way (delete old from /Applications, drag new one into it).
That would really be frustrating I guess...
