How I make the package

I make the msdeploy package like this:

msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:iisApp=c:\content\ -dest:package=c:\pkg.zip

The c:\content directory has a single index.html file.

Result

The output looks like this:

Info: Adding package (package).
Info: Adding child iisApp (c:\content\).
Info: Adding child createApp (c:\content\).
Info: Adding child contentPath (c:\content\).
Info: Adding child dirPath (c:\content\).
Info: Adding child filePath (c:\content\index.html).
Total changes: 6 (6 added, 0 deleted, 0 updated, 0 parameters changed, 0 bytes copied)

If I extract the content of c:\pkg.zip into directory c:\pkg it looks like this:

archive.xml
systemInfo.xml
Content\c_C
Content\c_C\content
Content\c_C\content\index.html

If I dump the package like this:

msdeploy.exe -verb:dump -source:package=c:\pkg.zip -xml

I get:

<output>
    <MSDeploy.iisApp>
        <iisApp path="c:\content\">
            <createApp 
                path="c:\content\" 
                isDest="False" 
                managedRuntimeVersion="" 
                enable32BitAppOnWin64="" 
                managedPipelineMode="" 
                applicationPool="" 
                appExists="True" />
            <contentPath path="c:\content\">
                <dirPath 
                    path="c:\content\" 
                    securityDescriptor="D:" 
                    parentSecurityDescriptors="" 
                    attributes="Directory">
                    <filePath 
                        path="index.html" 
                        size="0" 
                        attributes="Archive" 
                        lastWriteTime="07/07/2011 20:58:00" 
                        securityDescriptor="D:" />
                </dirPath>
            </contentPath>
        </iisApp>
    </MSDeploy.iisApp>
</output>

How I want it to be

I don't want the package to depend upon the current location of the site files. I'm going to send the package to a customer, and I don't want any detailes about the packaging process to get shipped with the package. I want the content of the package c:\pkg.zip to be like this:

archive.xml
systemInfo.xml
Content\index.html

I want the package to be able to create an IIS application, so I need a virtual path. I also want to install the package into the default location. So the physical path also has to change. I want the dump to look something like this:

<output>
    <MSDeploy.iisApp>
        <iisApp path="Default Web Site\Site">
            <createApp 
                path="Default Web Site\Site"
                isDest="False" 
                managedRuntimeVersion="" 
                enable32BitAppOnWin64="" 
                managedPipelineMode="" 
                applicationPool="" 
                appExists="False" />
            <contentPath path="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\site">
                <dirPath 
                    path="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\site" 
                    securityDescriptor="D:" 
                    parentSecurityDescriptors="" 
                    attributes="Directory">
                    <filePath 
                        path="index.html" 
                        size="0" 
                        attributes="Archive" 
                        lastWriteTime="07/07/2011 20:58:00" 
                        securityDescriptor="D:" />
                </dirPath>
            </contentPath>
        </iisApp>
    </MSDeploy.iisApp>
</output>

I have changed the iisApp and createApp provider path attributes to be Default Web Site\Site. And I changed the contentPath and dirPath provider path attributes to be c:\inetpub\wwwroot\site.
