PS The thing that _may_ appear counter intuitive is that `install.packages()`
will (when r2u / bspm are NOT involved) install into the first location in
.libPaths().  But with bspm this becomes a _pre-made binary_ from r2u and its
paths for packages are hard-coded to /usr/lib/R/site-library.  Once you
ponder this for a moment and remember that it is really apt behaviour we are
getting it makes sense.

It's all a lot to take especially if you are new to Ubuntu, but trust me I
think you will find it worhwhile.
