Same 8.10 for both amd64 and i386 where I checked -- both have the file. It
could be a leftover from an earlier install of mine, or an accidental
deletion at your end.

Well "you as the admin / user" have to make sure you provided the needed -dev
packages that may be needed for compilation from package sources. R cannot
know what those are called on Ubuntu, OS X, ...

Those are _binaries_ not sources, and yes, the longer-term plan is to provide
binaries for Debian and maybe Ubuntu as well. Not available yet though.

Some are (manually) packaged by maintainers like myself, but that covers only
about 60 or so out of the 1600+ that are available.

My pleasure. You raised good points. In case you didn't know that, the
r-sig-debian list (subscription required for posting) is there to help with
Debian / Ubuntu question.
