fOptions no longer builds: Fortran error

[Christophe Dutang]

a) Is there a compiling problem for randtoolbox not to be on Debian? on which linux distrib is used on R forge? 
b) If I well understand, on Debian there is an incentive to maintain less packages than on CRAN? Is there a website like CRAN dedicated to Debian compiled/built packages?
