In a past life I was an Application Packager and SOE / Deployment Engineer and after converting those prices to my local currency these prices sound pretty bog standard for outsourced packaging. Prices in my market range from about 5000-7500 GBP per application, based on 2 weeks of engineer time at between 75-100 GBP per hour.
This won't be packaging things for Linux, this will be packaging things for deployment on locked down Windows boxes in an enterprise environment via SCCM, Intune or one of the similar products. Most FOSS doesn't come with native MSI installers, plenty of it doesn't come with installers full stop and some requires compiling. So packaging in this sense would be compiling from source or repackaging a non silent installer, packaging all the pre-requisites, testing it, deploying it, etc.
