| r-bioc-biobase: /usr/lib/R/site-library/Biobase/ExpressionSet/man/@PKGNAME at .Rd
| r-bioc-makecdfenv: /usr/lib/R/site-library/makecdfenv/Code/man/@DIMENVNAME at .Rd

Recursive search in the actual R package sources brings up nada:

  edd at max:~$ ag PKGNAME src/debian/R/R-3.3.3/
  edd at max:~$ ag "@PKGNAME@" src/debian/R/R-3.3.3/
  edd at max:~$

Might be an upstream issue at BioConductor, might be a debian-med issue.
