I understand the difference between the two builds as follows:
I am assuming you are using nested_attributes and if so then my
understanding is that in your controller you will be building the
reservation_package object so that your form has something to work with.
If you have a has_many association then your controller will use the
reservation_packages.build option and if you are working with a
belongs_to association then you will find that the
build_reservation_package is what is called for.

I am new to rails as well, but that is what I have gleaned so far ...
hope it helps.
