[R] Correct placement of .tex files in an R package

I have a package in which I would like to store a LaTeX .tex file. It is not
documentation on any particular function, but is related to the package. In
thought that I could just create a "doc" directory under the "inst"
subdirectory and place it there. I thought that things in "inst" were just
recursively copied when the package was installed.

Alas, when I check the package (named "portfolio"), I get messages like:

Error in codoc(package = "portfolio") : cannot source usages in documentation object 'attribution'

and

Error in checkDocArgs(package = "portfolio") : 
	cannot source usages in documentation object 'attribution'

The name of my file is "attribution.tex".

Why is the happening and what can I do about it?

> version
         _                   
platform sparc-sun-solaris2.6
arch     sparc               
os       solaris2.6

Thanks,
