So what exactly is the advantage of this CRAN mirror on Github for the
sake of creating Debian packages? May be I'm missing your point here
(which I have read in the first place).

There is no doubt that there might be such packages. These might either
not affected by the tools I mentioned or they just slip through to these
metadata gatherers. This might be acceptable for single packages but
for all R packages this would be a severe disadvantage.

subscribing a proprietary service.
Kind regards
