Do you guys know about Don Armstrong's builder?  Effectively the successor to
my cran2deb efforts: 

   http://debian-r.debian.net

There is no 'status' at the top to give 'most recent build' info but poking
into pool/main/r shows that at least some things got rebuild as recently as
Feb 1.  And it contains a lot -- I think it is near-complete. 

CCing Don for good measure.
