| Well this is the complete list of packages I'm working on in order to
| be able to include cummeRbund:
| r-cran-digest
| r-cran-ggplot2
| r-cran-plyr
| r-cran-proto
| r-cran-reshape
| r-cran-reshape2
| r-cran-rsqlite
| r-cran-stringr
Nice. All will be good to have.

Then you may need to patch the upstream configure. When I was doing the
automatic builds of 2000+ (at the time) CRAN packages that were autogenerated
as .deb package, I just left it as is. Given that R needs to run on Windoze,
OS X and various Linux/Unix flavours it was defensible for for Seth to
include the sources.

Right.
Michael Rutter is cvarrying my torch of that older 'cran2deb' project but it
is currently Ubuntu-only via launchpad, look at 'c2d4u' (akak "cran2deb4ubuntu").
