Done!
Let's hope it passes NEW. I am a little worried I may have to extract
copyright information from thousands of header files ... Worst case we could
still do what we discussed once and have r-cran-bh be a Debian-specific
'wrapper' depending on our Boost header packages. But I don't like that as
the R builds would then [potentially] behave differently.

The other option is to just edit it out of DESCRIPTION. There will never be
any R code coming from BH; it is (really !!) just a way (for R) to set the -I
flag for the compiler -- and we have that covered differently.
But on balance I still prefer to package CRAN 'as is'. That is the better
way (even if marginally 'less Debian')
Dirk
