Nope. As I explained to you before and in this thread, there is downside in
differing from what is on CRAN. So r-cran-bh, as packaged and so far only on
my box, does what every r-cran-* package does: include the CRAN package:
edd@max:~/src/debian/CRAN$ ls -lh /var/cache/pbuilder/result/*bh*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.6M Mar 27 17:25 /var/cache/pbuilder/result/r-cran-bh_1.60.0-1-1_all.deb

edd@max:~/src/debian/CRAN$
But what is another 14mb between friends.

i) BH is not a complete Boost. Never was, never will be. Headers only. And a
selected subset. So some non-Debian R users of BH would potentially see a
build including 'boost-foo' fail whereas we do.
ii) Small delta: 1.58 != 1.60.

We had BH 1.60 for several months now.
