seriously though.....keep the package design in Illustrator. It really is the proper tool for that sort of thing

keeping it in illustrator would be fine if its all vector.

You can mask/clip images in illustrator. If you're using it as a production file just make sure the linked image is high-res/production ready and in the same colorspace.

why not just do the dieline in Illy and bring it into InDesign?

I can see sys_m's point if you are maintaining packaging consistency across a range of products. Indesign definitely makes it easier to quickly update multiple instances of all things print. But that is really step two. Step one is where Illustrator is more powerful, and that is the initial concepting and building. Indesign simply is not bulit to be a creative tool of expression to the degree that Illustrator is.
