Package Deployer - Creating a Package that skips import step if data already exists

Question

I've created a package for use with the package deployer tool (MSDN article here). However, I'd like to make it idempotent so that I can run it multiple times with the same result. Is it possible to tell the package to not run the data import if the data already exists?

Answer 1

The Package Deployer Tool already can detect whether a solution installation and data migrations have already been performed and skips over them. There's no need to code this in the package itself.
