I have thought about this as well, and I can't seem to find a way to do it through the Umbraco Backend.
The solution i used was to first select a node through the content picker the normal way. Afterwards I created another package with another node as the "root"-node. What I wanted was to include both the content from package1 and package2 inside of one package. So I did this manually inside the XML of the package this way:
After downloading the two packages, I unpacked both of them and opened up the two package.xml-files. Then i copy/pasted the section about "content" from package 2 into the package.xml-file in package 1. Now I had all of my content inside of one package. Does that make sense? Of course I had to zip the package again before installing it into another installation of Umbraco.
It's a bit difficult, but it works. I would wish that it was possible through the Umbraco backoffice when creating the package, but maybe that's a nice feature in the future :)
Multi content picker when creating package?
Is it possible to include multiple content nodes when creating a package.
You can't select the content "root" node to include all...

It seems there's still no posibility to add multiple content nodes to a package.
Just had the same problem.
Has anything changed ?
Bumping this one too, still no changes?
