Yes, I had that, too. I assume this is because some files where moved from
the core package to recommended. But apt-get -f fixed it for me without
further intervention, so I thought I could leave it like this or do you see
a major problem here? I'd probably have to add r-base-core to the replaces
list to get rid of that message, but I am not sure if that is a good idea,
since you still need to install the r-base-core package. If you have a
better solution, I'll be happy to include it.

There should not be anything to configure, since my packages are for stable
and they have a version number that is higher than the packages in stable.

dist-upgrade should do it?
