Yes -- propagation of my Debian packages into Ubuntu is all Michael's good
work.  When doing an update at work I saw that the 3.1.0 beta would hit, and
I did not yet want that at work so I simply commented out that repository
definition in /etc/apt/sources.d/.  These packages may be spilling over from
a test repo into the main CRAN mirror a little too soon...

OTOH they seem to work.  My CRANberries cronjob runs faithfully with the
3.1.0 beta and I use it on my laptop too.
