Also note that (AFAIK) Freeside won't display any package that has more
than one service on the "Add Customer" page.  The reason for this is
because there's no way to dynamically alter the displayed html form
based on which package is selected. One possible solution would be to
make an additional page that's used in the signup process that would
display the form for each package, like a MS-style "Wizard".  The first
page lets you select the package, then the second page has the custom
form with fields for each service in that package and a save button. Of
course, that would require a little perl work.
