There's no way to refuse to install a package if the installer isn't running as the superuser.

MojoSetup.info.isadmin should be a boolean of whether the given account has administrator rights, and there might be some use in having a formal attribute to Setup.Package that tests this...but then, what do you do if you have several Setup.Packages and only one needs admin?

Is "admin" enough, or should we deal with finer-grained rights?
