package.skeleton tries to deparse your code, but in some cases, that 
can't be done.  As ?deparse says, "However, not all objects are 
deparse-able even with this option and a warning will be issued if the 
function recognizes that it is being asked to do the impossible."

What you need to do is to copy your original source code that created 
classA into the package source.  Presumably it uses some functions from 
R.oo to construct the object properly.
