Merge modules are recognized by their Module Signature. I know of no purpose for the Summary Information Package Code other then it must have one becaues it's an MSI database. I know of no harm in changing it and this is probably the reason why the schema no longer requires it.

Use the Package/@Id attribute instead. We currently specify both a module GUID and a package ID – can we just remove the module GUID in future releases? Our “finished product” is a merge module that gets included in several different products, and we want to ensure that it’s recognized properly e.g. if a user installs a new product with an upgraded version of our service packaged in. Also, we’re currently hardcoding a GUID as the package ID and keeping it the same from release to release, is this correct? I didn’t see any other ID that was staying constant between releases that would associate a new version of our module with an older one. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
