Looking at the (small) subset of CRAN I maintain as Debian packages:

edd at chibud:~/src/debian/CRAN> ls */inst/CITATION
lmtest-0.9.9/inst/CITATION  strucchange-1.2.7/inst/CITATION

Looking at the (much larger and almost complete) set going into Quantian:

edd at basebud:~/src/quantian/source> ls usr/local/lib/R/site-library/*/CITATION
usr/local/lib/R/site-library/arrayMagic/CITATION
usr/local/lib/R/site-library/flexmix/CITATION
usr/local/lib/R/site-library/geoR/CITATION
usr/local/lib/R/site-library/globaltest/CITATION
usr/local/lib/R/site-library/limma/CITATION
edd at basebud:~/src/quantian/source> ls usr/lib/R/site-library/*/CITATION
usr/lib/R/site-library/lmtest/CITATION
usr/lib/R/site-library/strucchange/CITATION
edd at basebud:~/src/quantian/source> ls usr/lib/R/library/*/CITATION
usr/lib/R/library/MASS/CITATION   usr/lib/R/library/nnet/CITATION
usr/lib/R/library/base/CITATION   usr/lib/R/library/spatial/CITATION
usr/lib/R/library/class/CITATION
edd at basebud:~/src/quantian/source>                                         

Hth, Dirk
