If a CRAN package fails 'R CMD check' it will not be on CRAN, ie not be available as a source package. For any given R package, you can always run R CMD check locally. And we know CRAN runs _all_ these tests, but also limits their coverage to ~ 1 min each to minimize total load. You as maintainer are free to run checks when you prepare packages. I have no immediate plans to hack this into cdbs, and I do not think I want to slow my (and everybody else's) builds down for this (given that I know the package has passed). We may make it optional if and when we rewrite debian/rules to use dh which may (or may not happen) with some help from Don (CC'ed) as he and I discussed over beers yesterday.
