[R-sig-Debian] rgl install failed...

[Johannes Ranke]

Hi,

You could try pinning your R packages like r-cran-rgl as well, if you
want them to be compatible to your r-base from sid. 

Generally, I think your approach is reasonable, as long as we don't
provide all the r-cran-* packages that Dirk maintains on CRAN.
