I think the most interesting fact to learn is that you never should
start packaging something manually. Just use
prepare_missing_cran_package CRANNAME
from dh-r package and check the dir
../CRAN_prospective
afterwards. It should contain a git repository with your target package
(and all its dependencies). If you want more details I'd recommend one
of the two "R packaging BOF" videos you can find here

Welcome in the team
Andreas.
