Bug#610063: RFP: cran2deb -- Automate conversion of CRAN R packages into Debian packages

["Kingsley G. Morse Jr." <change@loaner.com>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


Debian packages of CRAN packages of R code offer
at least two advantages: better dependencies and
updates.

Please package the cran2deb scripts at

    https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/cran2deb/

It seems to me that this might make it easier for
Debian users to upgrade Debian's R CRAN packages
ourselves, instead of bugging you.

Thanks,
Kingsley
