As far as I know there are no any simple solutions. You need to edit the
R-doc package's info documents themselves and change the section. It's
the "INFO-DIR-SECTION" keyword. "install-info" command will update the
"dir" file. The problem is that next version of R-doc package will
overwrite your changes.
Perhaps you can make a script which edits the info files automatically
(using "sed" or something).
