Not sure whether this is helpful to anyone else out there, but
here is my solution:
I could not find a satisfactory automatic solution
%
(which should find the source folder[s] to my package[s]
automatically and correspondingly, in R should fill string
variables),
%
so I placed a README file into the inst/doc folder where
I explain that to build / check / install my package[s] including
the building of the vignette, one either has to call R CMD from
the parent folder of the source folder to my package (distr)
or one has to define path(s) in a file myPATH.
In the preamble of my .Rnw file, I put
%--------------------------------------------------------------
% --- begin of code from newDistribution.Rnw in pkg distr --- %
%
<<setPath, results=tex, echo=FALSE>>=
if(file.exists("myPATH")){
cat("\\def\\distrPATH{",readLines("myPATH")[1],"}\n",sep="")
cat("\\def\\distrExPATH{",readLines("myPATH")[2],"}\n",sep="")
}else{
cat("\\def\\distrPATH{../../../distr}\n",sep="")
cat("\\def\\distrExPATH{../../../distrEx}\n",sep="")
}

and in the .Rnw file I use
\lstinputlistingWithPath[firstline=<nn>, lastline = <nn>]%
{\distrPATH}{R/<filename-of-myRsource>.R}
resp.
\lstinputlistingWithPath{\distrPATH}%
{man/<filename-of-myRsource>.Rd}
to include some man-file.

I should have a look to it.
Thank you once again,
