Why all?  That makes a lot of manual work for Kurt, and to a lesser degree
for me.

Not so fast:

i)  You didn't fix the dependence on akima. Or at least you didn't tell us.

ii) I submitted RUnit, robustbase, and mnormt to Debian. The last is really
    silly as already have the 'other multivaritate normal/t' (named mvtnorm) 
    but whatever....  In any event, mnormt needs to be included so that I 
    can then build sn, and then we still need to wait for sn to be included.

    So as I asked before: next we hardwire new Depends, and early heads-up 
    would help.

Best regards, Dirk
