Thanks Andreas, that was a quick sponsoring!

I'll look into separating the packages and I'll make sure to ask if I
run into problems.

BTW, debian/watch file in r-bioc-limma is not working. I was able to
get it working on r-bioc-cummerbund. I chose to go with the devel
version of bioconductor, but in any case, you will need to use
'opts=downloadurlmangle' to fix the download url. I'll be happy to
push this fix to r-bioc-limma if you think it would be appropriate.

Thanks again,
Carlos
