E.g.

> devtools::install_deps()
Warning in read.dcf(path) :
  cannot open compressed file '/Users/kevin/r/pkg/Rcpp/inst/unitTests/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory'
Error in read.dcf(path) : cannot open the connection

I was briefly working in the inst/unitTests folder for Rcpp; discovered I was missing some development dependencies, and was hoping an install_deps() would do the trick. It'd be nice if this function looked upwards for a package root + associated DESCRIPTION file.
