That's actually the point. In the installed .rd[bs] files the absolute file paths are still present but often[2] the referenced files don't even exist on the computer the packaged is installed. My approach therefore is to replace those absolute paths by relative[3] paths. But to do so I need to understand where exactly those absolute paths are injected in the files - that's why I asked for help in my fist mail - sorry for not being clear enough.
