Productbuild inherited those variables by factoring out common pkg support between PackageMaker and ProductBuild.
I'm not aware of porting concerns, but I can imagine that being useful.
I think there *are* people using the undocumented variables with PackageMaker.

The other CPack generators have their own variable names for this kind of thing.
And they also have separate code to handle it.  In this case, we have 2 pkg based generators with a potential of using the same named variables.

With PackageMaker being deprecated, CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_* sounds good.
