PDQ Deploy and Inventory Installs
Since the rollout of central server, we thought it would be nice to have Deploy and Inventory "client" packages available in Deploy, already configured to install in client mode so that a new admin can setup just the central server of each, then push the clients out to each user that needs them. And then when central server is updated, that can get pushed out to all the endpoints easily instead of making sure everyone gets their client copy updated manually.

Yeah, would be great if we could make/download a package of it, with preconfigured settings or at least silent install parameters.
For example:
msiexec.exe /i "PDQInventory_15_0_1_0.msi" Mode=Client Servername=PDQServer ServerPort=7337 Licensekey=KDFJDK121H43H24HJ3JH34134G143JH34 /qn /norestart
Yes, I know you can push it out with default settings and it will upgrade previously installed clients. But automated fresh installs are even better!

Agreed. Our environment also has the central server version and I just rolled out the new version to our client versions. Package was easy to build, but I'll have to repeat this process over and over again with every update I run on the server. It'll save everyone a lot of time in the long run if this a package included in the package library.
I know this is a forum for packages in the Package Library, but another idea is to have a pre-configured dynamic groups for computers with PDQ Inventory and Deploy installed as well. Even better if there are sub-groups dividing versions of PDQ up so it's easier to run an upgrade. Just a thought even though the groups were easy to make.
