I guess the .deb package is broken :o(  Now does everyone see why I don't
like duplicating a perfectly good .zip distribution?  How hard is it
really to follow these instructions:
http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/readme.html#Installation

There is no avoiding step 5 is there?  So, I don't really see the point 
of the
.deb  The file that you want is here (and clearly a part of the ESS 
package):
