It is just like the message says: it is a non-standard file.
Meaning it is not described anywhere in 'Writing R Extensions' which is the
only manual that _really_ counts. So it should not be in the .tar.gz.
The manual also shows how to exclude files in your build directory from the
resulting tar.gz: mention them in .Rbuildignore. So you could do
echo "cran-comments.md" >> .Rbuildignore
or edit the file by hand.
