There should actually be an eda directory. On my system, with a fresh
checkout from the developer CVS, it ends up building a package
containing only

.noGenerics <- TRUE

.First.lib <- function(lib, pkg)
{
    have.stats <- "package:stats" %in% search()
    if(!have.stats) require("stats")
    warning("package ", sQuote("eda"), " has been merged into ",
            sQuote("stats"), call. = FALSE)
}

I can't reproduce Debbie's problem though...
