You can't. I miss that too. We do the same thing at work -- scripts (often via Rscript or littler) go into into/scripts inside a package, we then have to (at least _one time_) create a softlink from /usr/local/bin into (on our systems with Debian/Ubuntu paths) /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/PKG/script/SCRIPT where PKG and SCRIPT vary. Having more 'hooks' in the R CMD INSTALL ... process would be nice, but it doesn't exist now. One alternative is to package the R package as a .deb package to use the proper postinst. But that may be overkill / does not help on other OS.
