It would really help me if you'd explain a little bit more. I think
the essential problem is that the package has two definitions of f:

f <- function(x, y) {}
setGeneric(f, function(x) {})

Roxygen uses the second definition (because it's the last defined),
and expects the function to have one argument. R CMD check clearly
excepts it two have two arguments. It's not obvious to me which is
correct.
