Thanks for pointing this out -- I wasn't aware of it.
I wonder whether it wouldn't be helpful in addition to make the links to such documents available through library(help=<package>) and help(package=<package>) as well, but I guess that how this should be done requires more thought.

These do get links in the HTML help, saying (at the top of the listing for the package)
*Accompanying documentation* is available in the subdirectory "doc" of the installed package.
The hyperlink (marked with asterisks) takes me to a directory listing in a case I'm looking at now.
