It sounds as though myPkg is already a complete package, so you probably
shouldn't be using package.skeleton at all.  It's for starting out, not
for modifying an existing package.

So in answer to your question:  package.skeleton won't do anything with
your inst or vignette directories.  You'll need to copy those into the
new package yourself.
