Hi Dirk, Andreas,

I noted the @debian.org, but I did not know Dirk is the main R maintainer.

My interest is to package cummeRbund[1], which needs ggplot2, which in
turn needs digest.

I'll be packaging the rest of the dependencies and I'll wait for Dirk
for digest. Should I remove this wnpp bug?

Thanks,
Carlos
