[R-sig-Debian] Ubuntu cran2deb PPA

[Tim Booth]

Hi Tony,

Yes, this might be a good thing to tackle in Kiel.  How much effort
would it be to do a rebuild against the latest CRAN/Bioconductor
packages?  Could this be done before the meeting so we have up-to-date
source packages to tinker with?

Cheers,

TIM
