Dear Johannes,

your first R-build (without codetools and rcompgen) uploaded at CRAN
worked just fine, and when I discovered that you have provided another
build including both above-mentioned packages, I have upgraded flawlessly.
However, I have noticed that rcompgen installed under
/usr/lib/R/site-library, unlike all the other recommended packages.

Is this intended behaviour or a bug in the backport-packages?

Otherwise everything works OK sofar, and (last but not least) I'd like to
thank you for providing the R backports to Debian R-users!

Greets,
Ivailo
