You can try to surround package names in singe quotes <'>.

Right. However, you can want to distribute some auxiliary data, e.g. 
data supporting examples in your doc. In this case, such auxiliary files 
can go in "inst/" directory. All the content from this directory will be 
placed in the root of your package. So it may be more informative for an 
end-user to place them in "inst/examples/" or alike. Thus, the user will 
find them in "<package_dir>/examples/".

Best,
Serguei.
