But let's take it one step at a time. GNU R's own CRAN archive has some ~
150 packages of which less than a handful are packaged by Chris Lawrence and
yours truly. Then there is the Omega project at www.omegahat.org from which
I packaged two pieces, and am stuck with few more difficult ones.

What we'd need at this point is a Debian Developer who is fairly familiar
with bioinformatics and willing to cover the bioconductor angle -- this is
best done by people actually using the software.
