well, it looks good (even if it uses CDBS which I don't like, but I know
there is the well-maintained r-base-dev that works pretty well for R).
though, you wrote that this packages uses the MIT license (though you
maybe want "Expat" instead), except for citing the MIT license in the
DESCRPTION file, I can't find any copy of the license itself. This is
actually a violation of the MIT.
Please clarify 1) how you could know upstream intended *that* MIT
license (there are several, you reported the most common one called
Expat) 2) really upstream needs to ship one copy of it.
