R SIG Debian - Jul 2009 - cran2deb: 1700+ new Debian / R packages

Am I correct in thinking that cran2deb is only working with Squeeze (and
presumably Sid?) at the moment and not with Lenny? If so, are there
plans to have cran2deb work with Lenny or after Squeeze is released will
that be the first opportunity for users of stable to try out cran2deb?
Thanks!
Chris

Dear all,

as I have automated the backporting (compiling) from sid to lenny (and
to etch) for the set of recommended packages to some degree, it seems to
me that a similar set of scripts could be developed for the packages
provided by cran2deb. Build dependencies of R packages on R packages
might be problematic, when running the build procedure for the first
time though.  Anyway, I would be willing to help if anybody would like
to do this.
