Sure, but please bring a handful of volunteers skilled in Debian, R and
BioConductor details to maintain.
Wishing alone doesn't get these packaged properly, and I can't do it inside
Debian as I'm already at > 80 packages. I also feel that the r-cran-*
packages don't necessarily belong into Debian (as the autobuilders block too
many anyway as they fail too often). i386-only somewhere else starts to
look good to me.
But maybe I'm just glum as I worked hard on a new Quantian that should come
in the next day or two -- it includes debian-med, by the way (and debian-edu).
