This does not seem to work completely correctly (checked only on Linux) if there is more than one pdf file in inst/doc. The pdf files all get installed in the package doc directory, but library(help = <package>) ignores some of them.

In my case, in dse1/doc there are files dse-guide.pdf, dse1-guide.pdf, and dse1-guide-012.pdf. The last should probably be ignored as it is generated by the sweave process and pulled into dse1-guide.pdf. The first is the most important one, but is ignored. It is the guide for the whole bundle which I build from vignettes for the packages, so it includes the second.

This problem is related to the fact that there is no good place to put documentation for a bundle (or other group) of packages.
