No, you're right. Debian does in fact encourage that.

I am sorry, I didn't see that at first -- my bad.

Well the package does contain several manuals so obvious is once again in
the eye of the beholder.

Ok, that was the missing elements.
I will pass your bug report on section 7.1 of the R Data manual on to R Core.
