For OS specific packages (like system parameters), extending the
profiles seems to me a good idea (the thing I should work one).

About OS specific packages I use unattended.cmd[1] and a special (OS
based) layout:

<software>/<version>/
                     install.cmd
                     remove.cmd
                     unattended.cmd
                     <OS>/<exe or msi>

I set the %CMD_PATH% variable in install.cmd based on OS like this:
ver | find "version 5.1" && (
    SET CMD_PATH=%CMD_PATH%winxp
)

Regards.
