As I said: We currently have no means to advertise BioConductor packages
inside the projects nor doe we have proper means to set Dependencies on
packages outside Debian. IMHO users would profit from both things which
might be a reason to manually package a relevant subset (if time permits
and other more important jobs are done).

Does it make sense to recalculate a Bioconductor deb repository over
and over instead of just mirroring the result of one single cran2deb
run which would be (re)done in a reasonable frequence?
Kind regards
Andreas.
