Include sample data in packaging

How can I include sample data with an uploaded package?  One of my custom objects that gets deployed needs some initial data in it (metadata) for things to work smoothly, but I cannot seem to get some of these data values uploaded with the rest of my custom objects, reports, tabs, scontrols, dashboards, etc when I upload the package privately to AppExchange for testing.  Is there any way to include sample data?

You can't do this with packages.  Packages only move metadata and not data.  If you are looking to use it to create a test environment, sandbox would be a good option to take a look at.
