Package: r-base Version: 2.12.0-1 Severity: wishlist
Hi Dirk, Thank you very much for the Herculean effort you've put into maintaining quantitative packages. I like the prediction in a 2003 draft of Debian's R Policy [As a] "defense [against conflicts between apt-get and update.packages()], it is anticipated that future R versions will add a new entry record 'Package-Manager: Debian' to the installed DESCRIPTION file of each package." If you think it would still be a good idea, please implement it.
