[R-sig-Debian] Cran2deb and Ubuntu

[Lorenzo Isella]

Dear All,
I am running (X)Ubuntu 9.10 for the amd64 architecture on both my laptop 
e desktop.
I came across the posts

So it looks like that I will not be able to safely use cran2deb together 
with Ubuntu, but I simply would like to make sure that this is the way 
things really are.
Cheers

Lorenzo
