The bibtex citations provided by citation() do not work all that well in cases where there is no printed document to reference: (1) A version field is needed, as the note field is required for other purposes, currently trying to sort out nuances that cannot be sorted out in the author list (author, compiler, implementor of R version, contributor, ...) and maybe giving a cross-reference to a book or paper that is somehow relevant. (2) Maybe the author field should be more nuanced, or maybe ... (3) In compiling a list of packages, name order seems preferable, and one wants the title first (achieved by relocating the format.title field in the manual FUNCTION in the .bst file (4) manual seems not an ideal name for the class, if there is no manual.
Maybe what is needed is a package or suchlike class, and several alternative .bst files that handle the needed listings. I know at least one other person who is wrestling with this, and others on this list must be wrestling with it.
