Subject: [Rd] Title of bundled packages in the library index (PR#1017)

I realized that the title of packages in the library index when they are in a
bundle is the title of the bundle and not the package. 

It looks like the TITLE file, which apparently is used for generating the
library index, takes the value of the bundle's title and not the package's
title. I played around with the DESCRIPTION file (the bundle's DESCRIPTION and
the package's DESCRIPTION.in files concatenated), and found that the TITLE file
takes value of the *last* Title field, which happens to be the Title field of
the bundle.

Is this a bug in how the TITLE file is generated or how the DESCRIPTION file is
build?

My generated DESCRIPTION file looks like this:
