Hello, Dirk

It looks OK from my end.

On my Ubuntu 18.1 system, I did not see the problem described above.
However, today I saw some other wrinkles and  I have installed your
package and it works as well.  M-R does cause an  R session to open.
I see an explicit setwd() function call in the R inferior session,
I've not noticed that before.  Otherwise, no damage from the new deb
file.

The standard keyboard shortcuts like C-c C-n work work fine too. The
buttons like "->" and eval region seem OK.

I have some other problems to fix, but I don't think they are related
to packaging.

Thanks for your effort

PJ
