HomeDiagnostic.pkg is a package which contains apps that are used by Foxconn and Apple. The package install apps (see Applications by Build, a crash dumper which launches when an iDevice is connected and dumps the devices logs to the computer, an Xcode Organizer panel and a handful of command line tools. Applications from this package are installed to /AppleInternal/Applications instead of /Applications and the command line tools are installed to /usr/local/bin. The only exception to this was AirSwitch which, prior to HomeDiagnostic.pkg build 18B86, was installed to /Applications.

It should be noted that the name of the actual package is HomeDiagnostic.pkg and not HomeDiagnostics.pkg
