Cool!
I should probably send out some information on different Debian
channels once the schedule is fixed.

I checked this. I admit I personally have copied most of the packaging
stuff into reportbug (like Homepage from CRAN or the long description as
created by prepare_missing_cran_package). The script
itp_from_debian_dir is also doing this "lazy" approach. Just to mention
this while I think your additional information as long description is
perfectly fine and possibly more informative.
