Hi Jerry,
Within the structure of the installed package, the vignette(s) and
compiled manual pages live in different directories and have different
file extensions, so they can be distinguished. The changes you are
describing are general to R packages, and would have to be enforced by
the R core.
Best wishes
Julian
