How can I repackage Adobe Air and updates to it in PKG format for deployment to Macs?

We have about 200 Macs in our organization and do push deployments to them using JAMF Casper (which requires that installers be in PKG format).  I am periodically asked by our security department to apply updates to Adobe Air for security reasons.  So my question is  - how can I repackage the AIR installer and updates to PKG format so I can deploy them from Casper? 

I've looked at Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition - and it doesn't even recognize the AIR installer as an Adobe installer.

Any info you can provide would be much appreciated.

You might be able to do this by creating a bootstrapping application to launch the installer.  Here's some documentation on distributing AIR in enterprise environments along with a link to our distribution agreement.
