I was able to work around this by doing xattr -d com.apple.quarantine DisplayManager-1.0.2.pkg but that's obviously not ideal

Yes, this is part of macOS 10.14.5 notarization. If you distribute your command tool as part of an Installer package, it is supposed to be possible to get the whole package notarized, although Apple hasn’t detailed a workflow for doing that, nor said whether all installer packages will be required to be notarized.

We are busy with other projects, but will add it to our todo's and will fix it when we get time.
