You can use the InstallCondition attribute of MsiPackage (or ExePackage or MsuPackage) to control whether a package is installed. If InstallCondition evaluates to true, then the package is installed, but if InstallCondition evaluates to false, then the package will be removed unless it's permanent. I have a few numeric variables that I set to 1 if I want certain packages installed, or 0 if I don't.
Alternatively, I think you can listen for the PlanPackageComplete event and force Burn to install or ignore a particular package from your bootstrapper application, though I haven't tried that myself.
