Specify return codes with chef package?

I'm installing an exe using chef's package resource and the run is failing with a return code of 3010. A return code of 3010 means the install was successful, but a reboot is required.

I can get around this by putting ignore_failure true on the resource, but I think this would let legitimate errors go through.

Chef's resource windows_package has a returns property which allows you to specify an array of possible return values. However, windows_package is deprecated in favor of the more generic package resource, but package does not have a returns property.

Is there some other way that I'm not aware of that would allow me to specify return codes with the generic package resource?

Current code structure:

package 'Install Something' do
    source source_location
    package_name name_of_package
    options argument_list
    action :install
    provider Chef::Provider::Package::Windows
    ignore_failure true
end

It is not deprecated, use windows_package.
