Thanks for that.  I noticed the changes to R-devel and to the R-2-12-branch.
Looking at the diffs (an example is appended below), it seems to me
that, except for the ordering, the variables `depends_suggests' and
`imports'  are the same.  This would suggest that only one of them is
necessary and that the remaining code could be made leaner...  but
probably that is something to do after the code freeze is over...

Point taken.  When I am back home, I will think about what versions of
R I want to have installed on my main machine...  should probably
also write some scripts that regularly check my packages...

Cheers,
