No apologies needed. I tend to be fairly kurt with bug reports, but I do this
as a volunteer so nobody pays me to hold your hand either.

I'm all for better documentation and patches, but it is no help for me that
you just sit over there and complain "oh, it didn't let write a file" when we
both know you don't have write perms for the directory.
/usr/local is a funny beast as Debian actually guarantees it will __not__
create any files there. All that packages do is create empty directories for
eg Emacs elisp, or R packages, or what have you.
So if you have a concrete suggestion for the Debian case, let me know. Or if
you have an upstream patch, show it to R-devel.
Thanks for trying to make R, and Debian, better. We all have the same goal
here.
