Carlos, let us know if you need help. There is several interest in
BioConductor packages. BTW, while you are perfectly free to use our Git
repository it might be a good idea to have a look into
svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages/R
where we keep several R packages in Debian Med. We somehow established
some "common best practices" which might be interesting for you in case
you did not yet noticed.

For the manual packaging targeting at a Debian release I would strongly
recommend to use Debian packaged sqlite3 (by patching upstream
configure).

Thanks for the clarification.
