Hi Ivo,

I packaged ggplot2 mainly to fulfill a dependency for another package
I was interesting in. I'll be happy if you decide to adopt this
package. I also think Debian Med Team might be ok if you decide to
migrate the package's repository to another Debian team if you choose
to do so.

I started a new job since I did this work, and I now have much less
time. In any case I'll try soon to check if I can update all of my R
package.

Regards,
Carlos
